Fquira Johannes, LCSW

Fquira Johannes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 20 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, grief, and other life changes. Her style is straightforward and steady; she asks questions, listens closely, and helps clients take small, manageable steps forward.

She believes therapy is active work that can include laughter, tears, and honest moments of anger. Commitment begins with showing up, and she partners with clients to move toward their goals at a pace that fits each person. She frames clients as the experts on their lives and brings clinical skills alongside their knowledge.

In sessions she uses client-centered methods to follow a person’s priorities. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and motivational interviewing to strengthen readiness for change. Mindfulness and solution-focused ideas are added when they match a client’s needs.

She has experience supporting people with depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, anxiety, and addiction concerns. She also helps with relationship difficulties, intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, body image, and family of origin problems. Practical tools, clear goals, and paced progress are common features of her work.

Fquira practices from North Carolina and speaks English. She accepts international clients. People who want to try therapy are invited to consider whether her straightforward, collaborative style fits their needs before proceeding.

How her therapeutic methods translate online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client. Online sessions can use that same focus by letting the client set goals and priorities while the therapist reflects and guides the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change patterns; it adapts well to remote work by assigning simple between-session tasks and reviewing them together. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons for change and build confidence, which can be done through focused conversations and collaborative planning in virtual sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. That collaboration can include trying a few techniques and adjusting based on what feels most helpful.

Session formats are not specified in the profile, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy often makes it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allows for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduces travel time. Those practical benefits can help people maintain consistency and apply therapeutic tools in everyday situations.
