About Joanna
Joanna Fleming is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with five years of experience. She works with adults dealing with family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, low self-esteem, and life changes. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can use day to day when old patterns feel stuck.
Joanna uses plain conversation and evidence-based methods to help people notice how family roles and expectations shape current behavior. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to work on thoughts, behaviors, and values. Attachment-based ideas are used when relationships and early bonds are part of the problem.
In sessions she talks through specific problems and tries simple experiments clients can practice between meetings. That can mean testing a different way of speaking in a tense family moment or practicing small actions that reflect a chosen value. The work is often concrete and focused on changing daily habits that keep old patterns alive.
Joanna also helps with caregiver stress, communication problems, control issues, dissociation, and feelings of isolation. She brings Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) elements when emotions and connection are central to the concern. The goal is to create clearer choices rather than relying on automatic reactions learned early on.
People interested in starting are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and services are offered in English in Georgia.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Joanna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT often involves setting small, testable steps to try between meetings to reduce anxiety or shift reactions.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) which focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action that aligns with those values. ACT can help when old family rules conflict with the life someone wants to build.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joanna will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean combining elements from several approaches and adjusting as progress is made.
