Joanna Ulloa

Joanna Ulloa is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She speaks English and Spanish and welcomes people ready to take a first step toward feeling better. Her style aims to make starting therapy less intimidating and more manageable.

Joanna creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about what matters to them. She encourages open conversation about thoughts and feelings and works with each person to set clear, realistic goals. Sessions are practical and focused on skills that can be used between meetings.

Her work includes helping people cope with abandonment and codependency, repair communication problems, and manage control issues that affect daily life. Joanna also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, and questions about life purpose. She offers approaches that address panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, and related challenges.

Joanna brings four years of counseling experience to her practice and tailors care to each person’s situation. She emphasizes collaboration and steady progress rather than quick fixes. People often start by identifying one or two problems to work on and then build from there.

Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Joanna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change. One common approach she applies helps people learn coping skills for anxiety and panic attacks, such as breathing exercises and step-by-step exposure to feared situations. These techniques aim to reduce intense symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.

She also uses methods that address relationship and communication problems by helping people identify patterns, practice clearer communication, and set healthier boundaries. This work often includes role-playing conversations and homework to try new ways of interacting between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Joanna will listen to your goals and preferences, then discuss options and adjust methods as you go. Clients and therapist work together to decide what feels most helpful and practical for the person’s life.

If you prefer online work, confirm the available session formats before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or remove the need to travel. Joanna can help align session timing and style with daily routines so therapy fits into real life rather than adding extra strain.
