Joanna White

Joanna White is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) based in Ohio who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and life changes. She supports clients facing relationship strain, parenting concerns, eating and body image struggles, ADHD, and the emotional fallout after disasters. Her background includes years of direct work with survivors of domestic and sexual violence and people involved in prisoner reentry programs.

Joanna draws on straightforward, practical therapy methods. Sessions focus on clear goals, skill-building, and understanding patterns that get in the way of daily life. She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to tailor work to each person’s needs.

Her path to social work began with a Bachelor’s in Criminal Justice, followed by a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Southern California. While completing graduate training she worked with men and women experiencing domestic and sexual violence, and she later continued supporting people with trauma and disordered eating.

Joanna aims to make therapy feel like a guided process. She helps people name what’s happening, try new ways of coping, and set realistic steps forward. Her style is direct and caring, and she encourages practical strategies clients can use between sessions.

People come to Joanna for help after big life changes, for ongoing anxiety and stress, or to work through grief and trauma. She integrates skills-based work with attention to emotions, so clients leave with both tools and a clearer sense of direction.
