About Jo

Dr. Jo Ann Lee is a Florida licensed psychologist with three decades of clinical experience. She began her career working with people facing depression, anxiety, stress, and relationship struggles. She also has long experience helping people with ADHD, grief, and job-related problems. Dr. Lee carries the credential FL Psychologist PY5608 and practices in Florida. Her approach is warm and respectful. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy alongside humanistic ideas to meet each person where they are. In sessions she helps people identify practical steps, test new behaviors, and build on what already works. Conversations are collaborative and focused on problems the client brings. Dr. Lee has worked in correctional settings and has helped clients cope with isolation, past abuse, and the challenges of reentry to open society. That experience informs how she supports people dealing with trauma, relationship disruption, or major life transitions. She also addresses concerns such as parenting strain, caregiving stress, blended family issues, and aging-related changes. She works with a wide range of concerns including addictions, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleep problems, bipolar disorder, panic attacks, and jealousy. Sessions often include practical skills for managing impulsivity, anger, guilt, shame, and compassion fatigue. The focus is on clear, doable steps rather than abstract theory. To begin, Dr. Lee asks about current goals and priorities and tailors therapy to those needs. She encourages people who want change to take concrete actions between sessions. Her style supports steady progress over time.

How Jo Ann Lee Uses CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online

Dr. Lee uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test alternatives. CBT often includes small experiments, skill practice, and clear worksheets to try between sessions. It can help with anxiety, panic attacks, depression, and problems with sleep or impulse control.

Solution-Focused Therapy in her work emphasizes practical change and small steps. This approach helps people identify strengths and build on what already works, which can be useful for relationship concerns, motivation, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences and help choose methods that fit those needs. The plan can change over time as progress is made or priorities shift.
