About Jo
Jo Laboff is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Washington who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, and career challenges. She also supports those facing caregiver strain, aging-related issues, impulsivity, and mood concerns. Her approach is calm and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people make practical changes that fit their lives.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness practices, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients gain tools they can use between sessions. Sessions focus on identifying strengths, building coping skills, and trying small changes that add up. Jo describes her style as laid back, compassionate, and direct, with space for humor when it helps.
Jo’s background combines clinical social work and psychology, and she has worked as a psychotherapist, counselor, and geriatric care manager. She brings 18 years of experience supporting adults across many life stages. That history informs how she tailors strategies to the person in front of her rather than following a single script.
In sessions she listens first to understand how someone sees their situation. Then she helps people test new ways of thinking and acting to reduce worry, manage mood, and improve daily routines. Therapy is framed as a collaborative effort where the client’s goals guide the work.
People who choose Jo can expect practical, evidence-informed methods delivered in a supportive atmosphere. She focuses on clear steps and steady progress while respecting each person’s pace and values.
