About Josanna
Josanna Almanzar is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, and life transitions.
Background and approach
She draws on three years of professional counseling experience and earlier work in the mental health field to support clients through difficult moments and practical challenges. Josanna aims to build a collaborative, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings and work toward clearer goals.
Her practice emphasizes empowering clients to take active steps toward change while honoring the courage required to begin that process. Josanna integrates client-centered principles to prioritize each person’s perspective and values, and she uses cognitive behavioral therapy techniques to identify and shift patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress.
Those approaches are applied to a range of concerns including grief around adoption and foster care, communication struggles, guilt and shame, impulsivity, sexual assault and abuse, sexuality, social anxiety and phobia, women’s issues, and challenges common to young adults. She communicates in English and provides sessions through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Josanna works with a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and does not accept international clients.
Combining Evidence-Based Care with Online Convenience
Josanna commonly integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and client-centered therapy in her online work. CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to emotional distress and teaching practical skills to change those patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship so clients feel heard and are able to explore their values and goals at their own pace.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. She works with clients to determine which methods and techniques best align with their needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts her approach as progress and priorities evolve. The emphasis is on partnership and practical steps that the client can use between sessions.
Online therapy with Josanna is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to maintain consistency in care while balancing work, family, and other commitments, and they allow licensed professionals to focus treatment on skills, coping strategies, and problem solving in a convenient way.
