About Joanne
Joanne Arroyo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, depression, and ADHD. Joanne also focuses on feelings like guilt and shame, isolation or loneliness, questions about life purpose, and building self-love.
Joanne uses straightforward, evidence-based approaches and talks things through with clients in clear, practical ways. Sessions are focused on developing skills to manage intense emotions, reduce reactive patterns, and find steadier ways to cope day to day. She encourages honest conversation about what's happening now rather than long explanations of the past.
In sessions, Joanne helps people notice triggers, practice new ways of responding, and learn self-checks to interrupt cycles of shame or resentment. She pays attention to how stress and ADHD symptoms can raise irritability and makes room for small, doable changes. Work on addictions and anger includes concrete strategies for handling urges and cooling down before acting.
Joanne aims to create an open environment where thoughts and feelings can be discussed without judgment. She invites clients to set practical goals and to track progress between meetings. This approach keeps work focused and measurable while addressing the emotional issues that underlie behavior.
Clients who want clear, action-oriented conversations about anger and related concerns may find this approach helpful. Before booking, confirm the session formats currently offered to make sure they fit your schedule and needs.
How evidence-based approaches work for anger online
Joanne uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and behavior change. One approach emphasizes learning practical coping skills to manage intense emotions and reduce reactivity. This helps with situations like losing temper at work or snapping at people close to you by building pause-and-plan habits.Another approach targets patterns that feed anger, such as shame, isolation, or addictive urges. It involves identifying triggers, testing new responses, and practicing those responses until they feel more automatic. That kind of work is useful for lowering resentment and preventing escalation.
Finding the right method is part of the work. Joanne will discuss options and help decide which approaches match a person's goals, preferences, and current challenges. The choice is collaborative and can shift as progress is made.
Confirm the session formats Joanne currently offers before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy lives by removing commute time and making regular check-ins easier to keep. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce the need to be on camera if that feels better. These practical benefits often make it simpler to keep practicing new skills between sessions.
