About Joanne
Joanne Schrock is a Licensed Professional Counselor who centers her work on practical, evidence-informed methods. She uses clear, goal-oriented strategies to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life changes. Joanne draws on eight years of counseling experience and a long history as a behavior specialist to guide her approach.
Joanne favors cognitive-behavioral techniques that focus on changing patterns of thought and behavior. She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and coping skills.
Background and approach
Solution-focused methods help clients set short-term goals and track progress in small steps. Her background includes work in inpatient behavioral health and emergency room crisis settings. That experience shaped her ability to work with strong emotions, trauma-related concerns, panic, and mood disorders.
She has also worked with people facing ADHD, bipolar disorder, and anger challenges. In sessions Joanne aims to build a respectful, honest relationship where the client's input guides treatment. She emphasizes practical skills people can use between meetings, such as coping techniques for sleep, managing impulsivity, and improving communication.
Joanne practices in South Carolina as an LPC. She offers multiple remote formats to fit different needs, and she encourages people to start with one small step toward change.
Practical approaches for online counseling
Joanne uses cognitive-behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that increase distress. CBT is hands-on and often includes exercises to practice between sessions, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and mood symptoms.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These techniques are useful when strong emotions, impulsivity, or relationship communication problems make day-to-day life harder.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Joanne works with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made. Clients help set the goals and choose which skills to prioritize.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill coaching, phone sessions can work with lower bandwidth or while on the go, and live chat or text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins and between-session support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to try different formats to see what works best.
