About Joanna
Joanna Ulloa is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and low self-esteem. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Joanna focuses on practical conversations that help people sort through what feels overwhelming. She listens for patterns such as codependency, abandonment worries, control issues, and communication problems. She also supports people facing panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, and concerns common to young adults and women.
In session Joanna helps people name what matters most to them and to notice small shifts that change daily life. She talks through coping strategies for panic and anxiety, and works on ways to manage guilt, shame, and forgiveness when those feelings get in the way. She also supports people who are questioning life purpose and next steps after big changes.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. Joanna aims to reduce overwhelm by breaking concerns into manageable steps. Conversations often include identifying thought patterns, practicing skills, and setting short-term goals that fit into a person’s routine.
Joanna’s background includes four years of professional practice as an LMHC in New York. People who value direct, conversational work about feelings and behavior may find her style accessible. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Joanna uses evidence-based techniques to address common problems like anxiety and low mood. One approach helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns that fuel worry and depression; it involves tracking thoughts and testing them in everyday situations. Another approach focuses on coping skills for panic and stress, teaching breathing, grounding, and brief behavioral steps to reduce intense symptoms. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Joanna collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She checks in as therapy progresses and adjusts focus based on how someone responds. Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know how meetings will be scheduled. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, avoid travel time, and keep check-ins brief when needed. They also let people work with a licensed professional from different locations within the same region without changing their usual routine.Areas of expertise
