Johne Mitchell, LPC

Johne Mitchell, LPC, has worked in counseling since earning a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling in 2011. She brings 11 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family issues, and other challenges that make daily life feel out of balance.

She has spent much of her career in community settings, crisis and trauma work, and substance use care. Her background includes helping people with severe mental health struggles and those coping with grief, bipolar symptoms, eating concerns, ADHD, and workplace pressure.

In sessions she uses straightforward, practical methods. She listens first and helps clients name what’s most urgent. Then she works together with them to try shifts in thinking, behavior, or interaction patterns that can ease pain and create clearer next steps.

Her approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and person-centered care. Those methods guide conversations, goal setting, and hands-on practice between sessions.

People who come to her often want help sorting complicated feelings, addressing substance use, repairing relationship patterns, or finding steadier day-to-day coping. She emphasizes simple, doable changes and respectful conversation to help people move toward a more manageable life.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that line up with their values. It can help with anxiety, addiction, and getting unstuck from repetitive patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and trying new, more helpful ways of responding. It is often used for anxiety, panic, mood concerns, and coping skills.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that fit the client’s needs. This is collaborative, with adjustments as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a brief touchpoint is needed. They also let people use quieter surroundings at home or during a break and can accommodate needs like reduced bandwidth or not being on camera. Licensed professionals and therapists aim to match approach and scheduling to what works for each person.
