About me

I am a LCSW from Tennessee with forty seven years of experience in providing therapy to a wide range of clients . These patients have suffered from depression, anxiety, insomnia, PTSD, LGBT issues, and trauma as well as numerous other issues. If you chose to speak to me , you will find it a judgement free zone regardless of the situation. I consider myself almost" shock free" so don't hesitate to be as open as you feel comfortable. I am here to provide different perspectives and help you determine your next steps.

Like most therapists, I use a mixture of therapy approaches but lean toward rational emotive therapy in general.

I look forward to speaking with you. You have already completed the hardest step---you are seeking help.

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Joe Cooper. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

I’ve got a history of therapist and I can assure outside of only 1 I had years ago the rest had a struggle with me. So I was nervous about trying better help and I was nervous to get along with who I was connected with but Joe is super awesome. And I look forward to all of our meetings. I do highly recommend better help and I’ve done so to everyone I know (which is maybe like 5 people) they have to find their own matches though cause Joe is mine.

Joe is a blessing! With many years of practice and expertise, he is able to walk me through issues easily and compassionately. By far the best therapist I've ever had! Between his supportive care and direct, no-holds-barred approach, he makes feel like a real person rather than just another patient. 10/10 highly recommend!

Joe listens, respects, and collaborates with me! I am incredibly grateful for his patience. He poses excellent questions and offers practical advice. He's never judgmental or pushy. I am deeply appreciative of his support and kindness.
