About Johne
Johne Mitchell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years of experience working in clinical mental health. She trained at Alabama State University and has worked across community settings, crisis and trauma services, substance use treatment, and care for people with severe mental health conditions. Johne lists young adult issues among her focus areas and often supports people facing transitions in early adulthood.
Her style centers on clear, practical conversations. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, Client-Centered approaches, and mindfulness tools. Sessions focus on identifying what feels stuck, naming patterns, and trying small changes that can make day-to-day life easier.
Johne has substantial work with grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, mood and anxiety concerns, and relationship and family difficulties. She also supports people dealing with intimacy issues, self-esteem, ADHD, workplace stress, and the pressures of early adulthood. Her background includes crisis-centered work and community mental health settings.
In sessions she listens for underlying patterns such as abandonment, impulsivity, or communication problems. Then she helps clients test different ways of thinking or behaving and notices what shifts. The approach mixes problem-focused steps and reflective conversation so clients can try practical strategies and check what helps.
She practices in Virginia and offers services in English. For people who want to begin, the process starts by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress around life transitions, and feeling stuck in decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and tests practical changes to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and some workplace or study stress. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels heard and can make their own choices; it supports people who need room to process identity, relationships, and self-esteem.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to try methods that fit their goals and preferences. That may mean experimenting with CBT exercises for a while, adding mindfulness practices, or using motivational interviewing to address substance use or ambivalence about change.
Session formats are not listed in the profile, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule around classes, shifts, or commuting, and they can allow shorter check-ins or phone calls when bandwidth or camera use is a challenge. Licensed professionals, including counselors, use these approaches to help people fit therapy into everyday life and try practical steps between sessions.
