About Jo
Jo Ann McClure is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC and LCPC, practicing in Wisconsin with 18 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting strain, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, and concerns linked to ADHD and codependency. Her opening focus is practical help for people who keep putting others first and feel worn down by caregiving or controlling relationships.
Jo Ann uses a person-centered way of working. Conversations are meant to be interactive and respectful. She avoids stigmatizing labels and aims to treat each person as an individual with real-life problems to solve.
She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to spot patterns that keep someone stuck and to test small changes that make daily life easier. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help manage anxiety and stress in the moment. Narrative ideas are used to separate a person from the problems they carry so they can see other possibilities.
In sessions she will listen, ask concrete questions, and help set clear goals. Expect practical tools to try between meetings and regular check-ins about what’s working. Jo Ann also brings experience supporting people through caregiving burdens, grief, aging concerns, and the emotional fallout of cancer and hospice situations.
People who want straightforward conversation and step-by-step problem solving often find this approach useful. Those who need help with codependency patterns, communication problems, or rebuilding self-esteem can work on boundaries, clearer choices, and small behavioral experiments to test change.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful working relationship so people feel heard and can make their own choices. Online work using this approach often means steady, conversational sessions that focus on the person's priorities and real problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and tests small experiments to change them. Practicing CBT skills between sessions can be straightforward during remote work with agreed homework and brief check-ins.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels doable, then try methods that fit those needs. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust the approach if something isn’t helping.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. When arranged, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They can also let someone use less visible ways of working, such as phone check-ins or audio-first meetings, if that helps with concentration, lower bandwidth, or a shorter break from work.
