About Joanna
Joanna Marroquin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California. She brings five years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life changes. Joanna speaks English and Spanish and meets with clients using video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
Joanna centers her work on respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She adapts conversations and treatment to each person’s needs. Sessions focus on practical steps a person can try between meetings.
Background and approach
The aim is to support change one step at a time. People often reach out about major losses, ongoing worry, or transitions that feel overwhelming. Joanna also works with concerns related to LGBT matters, caregiver strain, chronic illness, and adoption or foster care questions.
She helps with relationship communication problems, guilt or shame, isolation, and finding purpose. Joanna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and shapes them to fit each person. She explains options, collaborates on goals, and adjusts the plan based on what is or isn’t helping.
Progress is paced to match a person’s needs and life situation. Sessions are offered through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Joanna will help clients figure out which session format fits their schedule and comfort level.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointment times are arranged based on availability.
How Joanna Uses Evidence-Based Tools Online
Joanna draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people reduce symptoms and handle life challenges. One common approach focuses on practical coping skills - learning ways to manage anxiety, track mood, and test gentle changes in daily routines. This helps when worry or stress is getting in the way of normal activities.Another approach centers on grief and loss work. It offers space to tell the story of a loss and to build routines and meaning that make life feel steadier over time. This approach supports people who are navigating mourning or major life transitions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Joanna will talk with clients about goals, try methods that fit their situation, and change course if something isn’t helping. She works together with each person to find what feels most useful.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls let people read facial cues and use screen-sharing when helpful. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera isn’t preferred. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, jotting down thoughts between sessions, or shorter focused conversations. These options aim to give flexible ways to stay engaged in therapy while balancing other responsibilities.
