About Joanne

Joanne Schrock is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina. She brings eight years of clinical counseling experience and a long background supporting people through depression, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. Joanne writes and listens with direct, practical care and focuses on building a respectful working relationship from the first visit.

She uses cognitive-behavioral tools to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Joanne also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Solution-focused work helps keep sessions goal-oriented and tied to what matters most right now.

Joanne has worked in inpatient behavioral health and emergency room crisis settings, and she has experience in residential treatment with teens dealing with trauma. That mix of settings shaped a straightforward style for managing urgent problems and planning steady change over time.

In sessions she invites client input and sets goals together. People often practice new skills between meetings and return to review what helped and what didn’t. The focus can range from coping with life changes and grief to attention and mood concerns.

Sessions are conducted in English and Joanne does not accept international clients. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options so they know which formats are offered.

How Joanne’s approaches shape online work

Joanne uses cognitive-behavioral methods to help people identify patterns of thought and try new behaviors that reduce distress. That approach is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and mood concerns because it focuses on concrete steps and experiment-based change.

She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and mindfulness. DBT-based skills can help when strong emotions or impulsivity get in the way of daily life. Solution-focused techniques are used to set clear, short-term goals and notice small progress toward what matters most.

Finding the right approach is part of the work, and the therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to emphasize. Decisions are based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences rather than a fixed formula.

The profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt homework, skill practice, and goal tracking to remote work so progress continues between sessions.
