Fquira Johannes, LCSW

Fquira Johannes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who aims to help people take the next step when life feels overwhelming. She frames therapy as a partnership where showing up is the first act of commitment. Sessions can include laughter, tears, or anger as part of making progress.

She draws on two decades of experience helping people manage anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, trauma and abuse, and addictions. Her work also covers relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, parenting stress, career pressures, and issues around self-esteem and body image. She supports people navigating family problems, blended family stress, divorce and separation, and codependency.

Her approach centers on the person in front of her. She treats clients as the expert on their own life while offering structured techniques and practical tools. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a frequent part of sessions, along with motivational interviewing and mindfulness strategies when those fit the goals.

She adapts methods to individual needs, using visual aids and activities when helpful for people with intellectual disability. Over time she helps clients set clear goals, test small changes, and build routines that ease daily functioning. Her style balances achievable steps with empathy and steady encouragement.

Fquira works with people across many concerns, including stress, addiction, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and coping with major life changes. She practices in North Carolina and brings 20 years of clinical experience to her work.

Approach and online care that fits your life

Fquira commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, or problematic habits. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so clients feel heard and understood.

She also draws on mindfulness practices to help people manage stress and stay present during difficult moments. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try specific techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat or messaging can support brief check-ins, skill practice between sessions, and flexible communication when schedules are tight. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and daily routines.
