A former client called me "endlessly chill." I am known to wear more sweatshirts than more "professional" attire. I don't want to give off any energy that I am better than anyone who sits across from me. I am known to swear in sessions (but I do filter this per client).

Lea Joner

Therapist

Virtual • Minnesota


Hello! I am a licensed clinical social worker with experience working in schools with children and adolescents, hospital settings with adults, and private practice with clients from diverse backgrounds. I have supported students in building emotional regulation, resilience, and social skills, adults coping with acute mental health challenges, and private clients navigating a wide range of life experiences. My work is informed by a trauma-informed perspective, and I am committed to creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space for every client.

Clients often describe me as empathetic, grounded, and collaborative. I value building a strong therapeutic relationship based on trust, respect, and understanding, and I tailor my approach to meet each person’s unique needs and goals.
