More about Joyce
- 30 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I have been providing counseling for about 25 years. I worked my first 10 years with the elderly population. For the past 15 years I have worked with all age ranges in a variety of areas. I meet my clients where they are, using Client Centered focus, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, including Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (cause & effect) of behaviors. I also use EFIT (Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy) to assist with trauma. My clients are a critical part of my treatment plan development as my desire is to assist in their success - effectively working myself out of their lives. They learn the coping skills rather than dependence on a person to go from one crisis to the next.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

I've been seeing Joyce for about a year or so! She's an excellent, pragmatic, and empathetic therapist that is very versatile!

Miss Joyce is fantastic! She listens. She offers help. She is super easy to talk to! I was hesitant to share things with a stranger but it’s nice having someone to talk to about everything. Whenever I need her she’s there!
Joyce is very good at meeting me where I'm at, hearing me out about what I may be struggling with and presenting alternative perspectives on my situation. I find her advice very helpful!
Joyce is the best therapist I've ever had. She made me feel so at home and welcome to share who I am. She made a personal connection with me and shared her stories, giving me insight and making me feel like I wasn't alone. She gave a warm and maternal energy and had a great balance of both supporting and challenging me. She offered me guidance and worksheets if I wanted more homework, and she checked in on me throughout the week with thoughtful messages. She goes above and beyond at what she does. Thank you, Joyce!
