About Jo
Jo Ellen Clark is a California licensed clinical social worker with ten years of experience helping people handle stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and self esteem concerns. She creates an open space for clients to talk about difficult feelings without judgment and focuses on small, practical steps toward feeling better.
Her background includes more than six years working in a trauma center Acute Rehab Unit. There she supported people facing sudden life changes that affected finances, housing, mobility, and relationships. That work involved short-term crisis support and ongoing planning to help people adjust to new circumstances.
Jo Ellen also has hospice social work experience. In that role she helps people and their families cope with end-of-life issues, loss, and the practical decisions that come with serious illness. Compassion, listening, and advocacy are central to her way of working.
She uses client-centered methods alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused techniques to support goals. Sessions typically emphasize clear problem solving, identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, and building skills clients can use between meetings.
Jo Ellen transfers the skills learned in medical and hospice settings to everyday life concerns. She helps people address relationship strain, parenting stress, career pressures, compassion fatigue, and major life transitions. Her approach is steady, respectful, and focused on what each person needs to move forward.
