Johne Mitchell, LPC

Johne Mitchell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia with 11 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, relationship and family concerns, and trauma. Johne aims to be a steady, listening presence when friends or family aren’t an option.

She trained in clinical mental health counseling and has worked in community settings, crisis response, and trauma-focused care. Her background also includes substance use and severe mental health challenges, so she is familiar with complex situations that disrupt daily life.

Johne uses practical strategies to help people manage symptoms and make clearer choices. She often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, solution-focused techniques, motivational interviewing, and person-centered ways of working. Sessions tend to center on understanding what matters to the client and identifying small, doable steps.

In the therapy room she listens first, then helps clients sort through thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Conversations aim to uncover root causes and develop new ways of responding to old patterns. The goal is a life that feels more manageable and more peaceful.

She works with a wide range of concerns including grief, intimacy issues, eating and parenting struggles, bipolar and mood disorders, panic and social anxiety, ADHD, and workplace stress. Johne also offers support around abandonment, communication problems, substance use, and personality-related difficulties.

Approaches you can use in online sessions

Johne commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in session. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thought patterns and try small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, panic, or low mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying personal values and accepting difficult feelings while taking committed steps toward a meaningful life.

She also draws on client-centered methods that prioritize listening and understanding. Together the therapist and client decide which approach or blend fits best. This is a collaborative process that starts with what the client needs, their goals, and what feels most useful in early sessions.

Online therapy offers a range of formats to make appointments easier to keep. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit into a work break or require less bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging can work for quick check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options help people access care with more flexibility around time, location, and communication style.
