Fquira Johannes, LCSW

Fquira Johannes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and life transitions. She approaches therapy as a partnership, encouraging clients to show up and take small steps toward their goals. Sessions can include moments of laughter, anger, or tears as progress unfolds at its own pace.

With 20 years of experience, she offers practical support for a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting and blended family stress, work and career pressures, and challenges related to body image or eating. She also addresses issues like compassion fatigue, ADHD, and substance use in clinical work.

Her style centers on the client as the expert on their life while she brings clinical skills and structured tools. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a frequent method she uses to help change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Motivational Interviewing is used to build readiness for change and to find personal reasons to move forward.

When clients need visual supports or hands-on activities, she adapts materials to fit learning needs. She has worked with people managing bipolar symptoms and complex mood concerns, and she brings two decades of practice to help clients set clear, achievable goals. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

To begin, clients choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule based on the therapist's availability. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a partnership. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflecting concerns and helping set goals that matter to the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical techniques to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be practiced during and between sessions to manage symptoms like anxiety or depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and what feels doable, then adapt methods so they fit day-to-day life. Decisions about pacing, tools, and homework are made together in a collaborative way.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. For some people, remote sessions help maintain consistency through job changes, relocation, or when juggling caregiving and work responsibilities.
