Dr. Joanne Hadlock is a MA Psychologist (license MA 4312) with 35 years of clinical experience based in Massachusetts. She has worked with adults and older adults across clinical, university, corporate, and private practice settings.

Anger and resentment are explicitly listed among the concerns she helps people work through.
She has experience with blended family dynamics, attachment issues, eating and food-related concerns, and forgiveness work. Language of service is English and she does not accept international clients. Practical arrangements such as session formats should be confirmed before booking.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and learning simple skills to act in line with them despite difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help when anger, avoidance, or stuck patterns get in the way of meaningful goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into manageable steps and teaches concrete techniques to change them. This approach is useful for stress, anxiety, anger management, and mood concerns.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions influence interaction patterns and helps people identify underlying needs and responses in relationships. It can be helpful for conflict, intimacy issues, and repairing ruptures.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods based on the client’s goals, situation, and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking results, and adjusting the plan together.
The original biography lists live chat, phone, and Zoom/video as session formats. Confirm which of these are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the commute so people can use time more efficiently.
