Jo Ann McClure is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wisconsin who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, depression, ADHD, and issues tied to intellectual disability. She has worked as a therapist since 2007 and brings 18 years of experience to sessions. Her approach aims to be warm, respectful, and nonjudgmental for people at different life stages.

Jo Ann keeps the tone direct and practical in sessions. She uses a person-centered style that focuses on each person's strengths and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness techniques are part of her work, along with solution-focused and narrative methods when those fit the client's needs.

Conversations in her practice are collaborative. She listens first, then helps set small, achievable goals. Sessions may include learning new coping skills, practicing mindfulness, or reframing unhelpful thoughts. Jo Ann adapts plans to match what each person finds most useful.

Her background includes a Master’s Degree in Community Counseling from Mount Mary University and nearly two decades of clinical work. She holds LPC and LCPC credentials and has supported people through trauma, caregiving strain, end-of-life concerns, autism-related issues, and blended family stress.

Jo Ann aims to create a respectful space that focuses on practical change. She encourages prospective clients to consider what they want to address and to begin with a simple initial conversation to see if the fit feels right.

How these approaches guide online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The therapist encourages self-direction and supports people as they set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions; it helps people spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety or depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jo Ann will talk with each person about their needs and goals and then suggest methods to try. Choices are revisited as progress is made so the plan stays useful and realistic.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online therapy useful for fitting appointments into busy lives, keeping sessions shorter when needed, and practicing skills between meetings. Licensed professionals can use structured CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, and narrative techniques in remote sessions to support coping, problem solving, and emotional regulation.
