About Jo
Jo Baker is a Licensed Certified Social Worker (LCSW) in Mississippi with 12 years of clinical experience. She helps adults who are coping with anxiety, stress, trauma, parenting challenges, mood concerns, and adjustments in family life. Jo also addresses issues such as ADHD, relationship strains, grief, self-esteem, and blended family issues.
Jo blends straightforward talk and practical strategies. She draws on cognitive behavioral methods to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take small steps toward them. She also uses skills from dialectical behavior therapy to manage strong emotions and from emotionally focused approaches to look at patterns in close relationships.
Sessions are collaborative. Jo listens to what matters most and helps people set short-term goals. Work may include skill practice, behavior experiments, structured thinking exercises, and emotion regulation techniques. She aims to make therapy useful between sessions, not just during them.
Her background includes a range of settings and a focus on attention differences and trauma-related concerns. Jo’s experience covers adults as well as work with young people in other roles, and she applies that knowledge when people describe family tensions or parenting strain. She sees therapy as practical problem-solving plus noticing patterns that repeat.
People in stephouseholds and blended homes will find concrete help with routines, co-parenting stress, loyalty conflicts, and adjusting to new roles. Before booking, confirm current session options and formats.
How Jo Uses Structured Approaches Online
Jo commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in straightforward ways. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavior changes, which helps with anxiety, OCD symptoms, and mood problems. ACT emphasizes clarifying personal values and taking manageable action toward them while learning to accept difficult feelings, which can be useful for stress, life changes, and relationship decisions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jo will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then try methods that fit those goals. Clients and the therapist decide together whether to focus on skills practice, values-based steps, or tracking thoughts and behaviors so progress is practical and measurable.
