About Jo

Jo Baker is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Mississippi with 12 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, and families through a wide range of challenges. She brings specialized training in ADHD as an ADHD-Certified Clinical Service Provider (ADHD-CCSP), in child and adolescent trauma as a Child and Adolescent Trauma Professional (CATP), and maintains a focus on neurodiversity to better tailor care to individual strengths and needs.

Her practice addresses issues such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma and abuse, parenting and attachment concerns, relationship and family difficulties, grief, self-esteem, mood disorders, and coping with life changes. Jo works with clients facing both common stressors and complex presentations, including disruptive mood symptoms, obsessive-compulsive concerns, phobias, and experiences related to adoption and foster care.

Jo’s style is warm, nonjudgmental, and grounded in the belief that a trusting therapeutic relationship is essential to progress. She integrates evidence-informed techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and mindfulness-based practices, selecting methods that align with each client’s needs and goals. The therapeutic process is collaborative, with Jo committed to bringing skilled, attentive support as clients work to improve well-being and quality of life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Jo Baker uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to develop practical strategies for change. CBT focuses on understanding how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and offers structured tools for managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, and obsessive-compulsive concerns. ACT emphasizes values-based living and psychological flexibility, supporting clients who are coping with trauma, mood challenges, or life transitions by building acceptance and committed action.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Jo works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Treatment plans evolve as clients make progress and as new challenges emerge, with an emphasis on practical skills and personal strengths.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care during life changes, and engage in therapy from familiar surroundings while working toward meaningful goals with a therapist.
