Jo Ann Partain-Broquie

Jo Ann Partain-Broquie is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 22 years of experience. She focuses on depression, anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. She also works with people dealing with life purpose questions and related issues such as abandonment and isolation.

Jo Ann keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. She listens to what feels most pressing and helps people talk through patterns that get in the way. Sessions often address how early attachment and family of origin issues affect current relationships and self-view.

Her work draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. That mix lets her combine looking at how past experiences shape reactions with practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

People who are uncertain about next steps at work or in life will find a focus on concrete concerns. Conversations can include communication problems, control issues, dissociation, and body image. Jo Ann also addresses aging and geriatric concerns when they relate to purpose and connection.

She often guides clients through thinking about life purpose without promising a single answer. The emphasis is on making manageable changes, improving relationships, and reducing distress so people can weigh options more clearly.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Jo Ann draws on Attachment-Based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and helps people notice patterns in relationships and trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work with the client to decide which methods fit current goals and concerns, combining exploration of past patterns with practical tasks when that suits the person. This is a collaborative process aimed at clarifying what to try next.

If you want to use online sessions, confirm the available formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, or allow a quieter check-in during a break at work. Therapists in this field can also adapt work so sessions include skill practice, thought records, and relationship-focused conversations that translate well to remote meetings.
