Johne Mitchell, LPC

Johne Mitchell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years of clinical experience. She trained in clinical mental health counseling and has spent much of her career focused on trauma, crisis work, and substance use. Johne aims to be a steady, listening presence for people who feel stuck or alone.

She helps people sort through stress, anxiety, addiction, mood concerns, and relationship or family strains. Her work also includes grief, LGBT concerns, intimacy issues, eating struggles, and navigating big life changes. Johne describes a preference for practical, solution-focused work that helps clients find clearer steps forward.

In sessions she uses a mix of approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, and person-centered methods. That means conversations center on what matters to the person, and on building small, doable changes. Johne emphasizes understanding root causes and shifting unhelpful thought and behavior patterns.

Her style is direct but compassionate, aiming to make hard topics easier to talk about. She offers a space where clients can be heard and begin to make life more manageable. Johne works to help people develop tools they can use outside sessions.

Background and approach include years of community and family work, crisis response, and trauma-focused practice. She draws on mindfulness and emotion-focused ideas when they fit a client's goals. The focus is on clear steps, realistic goals, and steady progress over time.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions that match those values. It often focuses on accepting difficult thoughts or feelings while committing to behavior changes that improve daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience, offering empathic listening and support so the client can find their own solutions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try approaches, and adjust based on what helps most. That process is flexible and paced to fit the client's needs and preferences.

The original biography did not specify which online or in-person formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and offer options when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Licensed professionals adapt exercises, homework, and emotion-focused work to these practical needs so therapy stays useful and manageable.
