About Jo
Dr. Jo Ann Lee is a Florida-licensed psychologist with three decades of clinical experience. She offers straightforward, compassionate care for people juggling stress, anxiety, grief, parenting concerns, and life transitions.
Dr. Lee uses clear, practical methods so conversations feel focused and useful from the start. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy alongside a humanistic outlook to shape sessions.
That means attention to how thoughts and behaviors connect, plus short-term goal work to build small, useful changes.
Background and approach
Sessions are often practical, with steps to try between meetings. Dr. Lee has worked across a wide range of issues including depression, anger, addiction, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related struggles.
She also addresses parenting concerns, caregiver stress, adoption and foster care topics, and aging or geriatric questions. Her experience includes working with people dealing with isolation and reintegration after incarceration. Her approach is warm and respectful.
She emphasizes listening first, then helping people set realistic goals. Conversations focus on skills that reduce distress and improve daily functioning. People who prefer a direct, goal-oriented style may find her approach helpful.
She offers multiple ways to connect and supports clients in figuring out clear next steps. Therapy is presented as a partnership aimed at manageable change.

How CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online
Dr. Lee commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to change mood and functioning; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and sleep problems. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on concrete goals and small steps forward, which fits well for parenting concerns, coping with life changes, and improving daily routines.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and daily challenges and then suggest which methods to try first. Together you can adapt the plan as progress is made and as needs change over time.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let you work face-to-face for in-depth sessions. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat or text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, asking brief questions, or maintaining momentum between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or caregiving schedules.
