I provide Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for adults (18+) as well as Ecotherapy approaches and concepts. Accessing therapeutic effects from nature is of great help to attain balance, effective coping, rejuvenation, and personal insight. Ecotherapy can be a key add-on to the immense healing that CBT can provide. Online telehealth sessions focus on what you want to ADDRESS and remedy (e.g. anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, stress, relationship troubles, parenting, self-esteem, addiction, panic/phobia, aging, and more). as well as how to COPE with challenges, uncertainty and distress.

I use a person-centered approach to counseling to build a foundation of trust and openness. When anxiety, depression, stress, relationships and life responsibilities feel overwhelming you may sometimes feel like you have lost yourself.

With a combination of counseling approaches, I'll help you talk about and explore important issues in your life through a compassionate and affirming lens so that you can begin to feel more like yourself again.

As your therapist, I am here to provide you with a warm, welcoming, and respected environment that allows you to feel open and vulnerable. We will create short-term goals in doable doses that will promote the growth you desire within yourself. I am currently working with adults and teens virtually.

My name is Joann Crants, I am Licensed in the state of Pennsylvania as a Professional Counselor (LPC). I have over 30 years of experience working in various inpatient and outpatient settings. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, PTSD, childhood trauma, career challenges, substance abuse issues, and grief and loss. As we begin our therapeutic journey, I will assume that you may be somewhat overwhelmed and perhaps not really know where to begin or what you would like to work on.

Dealing with the 21st century, typically, people tend to want to see results fast. For instance, for a cold, we usually take Dayquil or a drug that is similar to get rid of the cold symptoms quickly, so the cold does not get in the way of our day to day living. By incorporating gestalt methods into balancing a person's self, it satisfies the need to see results fast by focusing on "the here and now" and what oneself can do right now in the present to try and achieve balance. By seeking counseling, there is no magic wand or pill that can "cure us."

For some people, therapy is a scary word. There’s been a lot of stigma around it for a long time. But for others it is relief. It takes courage to begin therapy, whether it’s your first time or you’re returning after several years. Life transitions and events can sometimes lead to overwhelming feelings of stress and you need someone to help you navigate through these difficult times. I want my clients to find relief from what they are experiencing and give them an outlet to express themselves. Therapy is self-care, and I want clients to view it as such instead of something they “have to do”.
