About Johne
Johne Mitchell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years of experience helping people work through stress, anxiety, addictions, and life transitions. She trained at Alabama State University and built a career focused on trauma work, community services, substance use, and support for serious mental health concerns. Johne aims to be a steady, listening presence for people who feel stuck or isolated.
She uses clear, practical strategies in sessions instead of long lectures. Johne leans on Motivational Interviewing to explore readiness for change, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and person-centered listening to make people feel heard. Sessions are aimed at real-life shifts that reduce overwhelm and increase coping skills.
In typical meetings she helps people find root causes of recurring problems and tests small changes to see what works. That can mean shifting how someone thinks about a situation, setting boundaries, or building daily habits that support mood and focus. Johne also works on relationship and communication concerns by helping people notice patterns and try new responses.
Her background includes crisis and trauma-centered roles and time working with families and community programs. That experience shapes a practical approach that balances short-term relief and longer-term skill building. Johne writes simple goals with each person and tracks progress together.
People who prefer straightforward guidance, clear steps, and an empathic listener often find her helpful. She practices in Virginia and conducts sessions in English.

How Motivational and ACT-based Work Can Translate Online
Motivational Interviewing helps people explore their own reasons for change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to build motivation and clarify next steps, which can be helpful for addiction, ambivalence about treatment, and lifestyle changes.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches practical ways to notice thoughts and feelings without getting pushed around by them. It focuses on values and small actions that move a person toward a more meaningful life, often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has worked or not in the past. Together they pick methods and try small experiments to see what helps and adjust from there.
Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since the profile does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and give more options for scheduling around work or school. Licensed professionals adapt Motivational Interviewing and ACT to work well across different remote setups, focusing on practical skills and clear steps rather than guarantees of outcome. -
