About Joi
Joi Allen-Baaqee is a licensed mental health counselor and licensed professional counselor (MA LMHC, CO LPC) with 12 years of clinical experience based in Massachusetts. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and issues tied to LGBT concerns, relationships, and parenting. Anger and coping with life changes are also listed among her common focus areas.
She uses straightforward conversation to help people name what feels hard and why it matters. Sessions focus on practical skills and everyday strategies rather than long lectures. Joi draws on client-centered work to listen and build a plan around the person in front of her.
Joi also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify patterns of thinking that keep problems going and to test new behaviors in small steps. Mindfulness techniques are added when slowing down and noticing reactions helps reduce reactivity. Motivational interviewing supports people who want to shift habits but feel stuck.
Her background includes a range of settings over more than a decade, so she is used to helping people with mood problems, grief, addiction-related concerns, workplace stress, and issues around control and communication. Expect a practical focus on skills you can use between sessions.
She offers sessions in English and is not taking international clients. Before booking, confirm current session options through the provided scheduling process. Joi asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to set up the first appointment.
How sessions work
How Joi’s approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. Online sessions let the therapist and client talk through immediate concerns and set practical goals that fit daily life.Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thinking patterns and behaviors that keep problems going. In remote sessions this often means reviewing what happened during the week, testing small changes, and practicing new responses between meetings. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and notice emotional patterns in the moment.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Joi will work collaboratively to match methods to your goals and preferences, adapting techniques as needed. Clients and therapist decide together which combination of listening, behavioral experiments, and mindfulness exercises fits best.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, use shorter check-ins, or avoid travel time. It also supports steady practice of skills in the context of everyday life without requiring a particular in-person schedule.
