About Joan
Joan Pruitt is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, and major life changes. Joan also addresses compassion fatigue, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and anger among other issues.
Joan frames clients as the experts on their own stories and looks for strengths to use in therapy. She uses clear, practical conversations to help people manage difficult feelings and day-to-day challenges. Sessions focus on steps a person can try between meetings, not vague promises.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. She also uses Jungian ideas to pay attention to deeper themes and Mindfulness Therapy to build moment-to-moment awareness. These tools are mixed to suit the problem at hand rather than applied in a rigid sequence.
Joan has worked across a range of concerns, including aging and geriatric issues, divorce and separation, hospice and end-of-life counseling. She supports people facing intimacy-related issues, eating and self-esteem concerns, career strain, ADHD, and depression.
Conversations tend to be straightforward and practical. Joan helps people set clear goals, practice new ways of responding, and evaluate what works. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options button.
How Joan’s approaches translate to online work
Joan draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and anger active. CBT focuses on concrete patterns and small experiments a person can try between sessions to see what changes. Jungian Therapy looks at recurring personal themes and symbolism that shape how someone reacts to loss, conflict, or life transitions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches moment-to-moment awareness and simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and steady difficult feelings.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Joan collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She will talk through practical options, try techniques during sessions, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.

They also let people practice new responses in their usual environments and bring concrete life situations into discussion. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, Jungian, and mindfulness work to remote sessions while focusing on what will be most useful for the person.
