About Joanne
Joanne Schrock uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and life changes. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina with eight years of clinical experience.

She starts by listening to the problem as you see it. Then she and the client set clear goals and try small, doable steps.
How Joanne works
Joanne relies on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and related methods to help people change unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also draws on skills-based strategies from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to manage intense emotions and reduce impulsive reactions.
Joanne has worked with people dealing with depression, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, trauma and abuse, panic and post-traumatic stress, and a wide range of relationship and intimacy-related issues. She also supports those coping with parenting strain, sleep problems, and identity concerns such as LGBT stressors. Additional focuses include communication problems, family of origin issues, and forgiveness work.
Sessions are intended to be collaborative and goal-oriented. Joanne will invite feedback, adjust plans, and teach concrete tools you can use between meetings. Her style is direct, compassionate, and problem-focused, with attention to real-world changes.
She offers therapy in English and practices from South Carolina. Joanne encourages people to take a first step toward managing worry, improving mood, or navigating a difficult life transition.

Using CBT and Skills Work in Online Sessions
Joanne commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions focus on identifying patterns, trying small behavioral experiments, and practicing new ways of thinking that reduce anxiety and low mood.She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal effectiveness. DBT-informed techniques can be helpful for managing strong emotions, impulsivity, and relationship stress. Solution-Focused Therapy appears in sessions as brief, goal-centered work that highlights what is already working and builds small, practical steps toward change.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about your needs, goals, and preferences and will tailor methods accordingly. This is a collaborative process that can shift over time as goals evolve.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - provide flexible options to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls are useful for interactive skills practice and conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging offer brief, focused exchanges and convenient ways to follow up between longer sessions.
