M Jo Yeske-Bishop, LPC

M Jo Yeske-Bishop, LPC, is a Wisconsin-licensed clinician with 27 years of professional experience who centers her work on helping people build more meaningful and authentic lives. She approaches therapy from a belief in each person’s inherent worth and supports clients in developing flexible ways to address problems and resolve ongoing concerns.

She works with adults and couples on a range of issues including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, self esteem, grief and loss, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and matters related to LGBTQ identity and family dynamics. Additional areas of focus include codependency, feelings of emptiness, family of origin issues, guilt and shame, life purpose, midlife transitions, and mood disorders. Therapy draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness Therapy to tailor care to each person’s needs.

She uses an eclectic approach that selects evidence-based techniques from multiple modalities rather than relying on a single method. This flexibility allows treatment to be adapted to the individual, makes it possible to address multiple or complex problems, and emphasizes interventions supported by research. LPC indicates Licensed Professional Counselor, a credential that reflects professional licensure in Wisconsin.

M Jo is semi-retired and is not accepting new clients. She acknowledges that beginning therapy takes courage and honors the first step toward seeking support.
