Jo Ann McClure

Jo Ann McClure is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who offers calm, respectful support for people facing grief, stress, anxiety, and major life changes. She works with individuals coping with parenting strain, relationship concerns, depression, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Jo Ann aims to make therapy feel approachable and useful from the first conversation.

She trained in community counseling and has practiced since 2007, bringing 18 years of experience to sessions. Her style is warm, genuine, and interactive. She avoids stigmatizing labels and focuses on each person’s needs rather than fitting anyone into a box.

Jo Ann uses a person-centered approach that draws on cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, narrative methods, and solution-focused work. In practice this means she listens first, then helps people try small, practical changes and new ways of telling their stories. Sessions often include skill-building, gentle reflection, and clear steps to try between meetings.

Her background includes supporting people through trauma, abuse, caregiving stress, aging and geriatric issues, cancer-related concerns, and hospice and end-of-life counseling. She also addresses challenges related to autism, intellectual disability, blended families, and family-of-origin problems.

Jo Ann works from Wisconsin and provides services in English. She accepts international clients and adapts her approach to fit the goals and rhythms of each person. If someone wants to begin, she asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.

Therapeutic approaches and online counseling fit

Jo Ann draws on client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in her sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening without judgment and helping people feel heard, which can be especially useful when processing grief or caregiving stress. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at unhelpful thoughts and patterns and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety or manage mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will help clients decide which methods to try based on their goals, needs, and preferences. The process is collaborative and adjustments are made as progress and feedback guide the plan.

The biography did not list specific online or in-person formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people use techniques like mindfulness practice or cognitive behavioral homework in the context of their daily routine, which many clients find helpful.
