About Johne
Johne Mitchell is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 11 years of experience. She holds a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and practices in Virginia as an LPC. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, substance use, loss, or major life changes.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. Sessions start with listening so clients feel understood. She then helps people identify patterns and small changes that can make daily life more manageable.
Background and approach
Johne uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. She also draws on mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing to support motivation and emotional regulation. In sessions she helps clients notice thoughts and behaviors, try different responses, and build skills that fit their life.
She has worked in community settings, crisis and trauma-centered programs, and with substance use and severe mental health concerns. That background informs her focus on safety, steady progress, and practical coping strategies. Clients commonly bring worries about relationships, parenting, work stress, identity and self-esteem, grief, and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms.
Johne helps people explore root causes, set realistic goals, and practice concrete steps toward feeling more stable and hopeful.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice uncomfortable thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that move life in a meaningful direction, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches practical skills for shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and building healthier habits, useful for panic, mood concerns, and stress.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, listening stance. The therapist follows the client's pace and supports self-discovery, which can be especially helpful for improving self-esteem and processing grief.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Johne will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and day-to-day life. She adjusts techniques as progress is made so therapy stays relevant and practical.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and messaging suit short updates, journaling between sessions, or people who prefer typed communication. These formats offer flexibility to fit therapy into work, family life, and busy schedules.
