Jo Anna draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and make choices that match their values, useful for life changes and finding purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches clear strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns.
