About Jo
Jo Laboff is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Washington. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, and career questions. She also supports people dealing with aging and geriatric concerns, caregiver stress, impulsivity, and mood disorders.
Her style is down-to-earth and supportive. Sessions are relaxed and focused on identifying strengths rather than labeling people. Jo listens, asks straightforward questions, and works with each person to find practical steps they can use between sessions.
She draws on mindfulness techniques to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to change unhelpful thinking and improve emotion regulation. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set small, achievable goals and build momentum.
Jo’s background combines clinical social work and psychology. She has 18 years of experience as a psychotherapist, counselor, and geriatric care manager. That experience informs her work with adults of different ages and life stages.
Her goal is to meet people where they are and collaborate on realistic changes. She helps clients recognize everyday strengths and apply them to real problems. People who prefer a calm, nonjudgmental approach may find her style a good fit.
