About Fquira

Fquira Johannes is an LCSW with 20 years of clinical experience based in North Carolina. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship struggles, and family of origin issues. She also addresses challenges tied to grief, intimacy, sleep, eating, anger, ADHD, and career stress.

Her approach treats the client as the expert on their life while she offers clinical guidance. She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help people identify practical steps and change patterns that cause distress. Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques are also part of her work when helpful.

Sessions can include emotional processing alongside concrete skill-building. She expects active participation and steady attendance, and she describes therapy as sometimes slow and sometimes intense. Laughter, tears, and frustration are all normal parts of the process.

When supporting people with intellectual disability, she adapts by using visual aids and hands-on activities. She also helps with substance use concerns and recovery-related issues, drawing on her experience with addiction-related work.

For practical starts, she asks clients to set goals and to treat the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative effort. She accepts international clients and works in English. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and collaboration. The therapist reflects what the client brings and helps set goals together, useful when uncovering family patterns or relationship habits.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It uses practical exercises and homework to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, or eating and sleeping issues.

Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that supports readiness to change. It works well for people facing substance use questions or who feel stuck about making life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then adjust methods together so sessions suit the client’s needs.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because specific formats were not listed in the biography. Ask about which options are offered and how they fit into your routine. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work or caregiving, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions feel more practical for everyday life.
