About Jo
Jo Laboff is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Washington who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, sleep problems, anger, career questions, and self esteem concerns. She has 18 years of experience and works with adults seeking practical support and guidance. Her approach is straightforward and down-to-earth.
Jo talks with clients in a relaxed, supportive way. She focuses on identifying strengths and building on them. She emphasizes that change is possible and helps people move toward goals at their own pace.
Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and habits and on Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, achievable steps. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness techniques to help people manage intense emotions and stay present.
Jo has worked in clinical social work and psychology roles, including counseling and care management. That background informs how she helps people with aging and caregiver stress, mood concerns, and impulsivity in day-to-day life.
In sessions she aims to be compassionate, nonjudgmental, and sometimes light-hearted when it helps. She offers a place to talk honestly about what’s hard, figure out practical next steps, and build on what already works.
