About Jo Baker

Jo Baker is a Licensed Certified Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Mississippi with more than 10 years of experience in private practice. She works with children, adolescents, adults, and families, addressing a broad range of concerns such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and trauma.

Her approach is warm and nonjudgmental, grounded in the belief that a trusting therapeutic relationship is essential to progress. Treatment plans are tailored to each person, drawing from a mix of evidence-informed methods including Cognitive-Behavioral techniques, Mindfulness practices, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy strategies, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy principles, among other modalities.

Could Remote Therapy Be a Good Fit?

Many people ask whether working with a therapist remotely can genuinely help. For many common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and major life transitions - research indicates that online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person care for achieving meaningful progress and symptom relief.

One of the clearest benefits is flexibility. Clients can choose the format that fits their routine and comfort level, connecting with a therapist by video call, phone, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility often makes it easier to maintain consistency and integrate therapy into a busy life.

Licensed professionals provide care through these remote options, and clients have the option to switch therapists if they are seeking a different fit. For many people, remote therapy offers a practical, accessible way to receive ongoing support from qualified therapists while balancing other responsibilities.
