Johanna Harris, LPC

Johanna Harris is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 13 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and LGBT-related concerns. Johanna aims to offer respectful, sensitive, and compassionate care as people begin the process of seeking support.

She adapts conversations and treatment plans to fit each person’s situation. That means asking about what matters to you, then working on small, practical steps that can be used between sessions. Sessions tend to focus on immediate challenges like sleep, mood, coping with change, or managing urges tied to substance use.

Johanna also works with grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and self-esteem concerns. She supports people facing career strain, parenting stress, and compassion fatigue. Her practice includes attention to neurodiversity, bipolar mood concerns, and a range of personality and anxiety-related difficulties.

Additional interests include adoption and foster care matters, aging and geriatric issues, veteran and armed forces concerns, multicultural issues, and HIV/AIDS related challenges. She can help people navigate infidelity, jealousy, obsessive-compulsive patterns, phobias, and reactions after disasters.

Her style is straightforward and person-centered. Johanna invites collaboration on goals and pacing so work moves at a manageable speed. If you are ready to start, she guides people through next steps and scheduling.

How evidence-based methods guide online work

Johanna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in clear, practical ways. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new, balanced thoughts to reduce anxiety and low mood; this helps when worry, stress, or depressive patterns get in the way of everyday life. Another approach emphasizes learning specific coping skills and routines for sleep, mood, and impulse control; this is useful for addictions, ADHD-related challenges, and managing intense emotions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Johanna will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend methods that match those priorities. The plan can be adjusted over time as progress and goals evolve, so therapy remains collaborative and practical.

The profile does not list which session formats are used, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce commute time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited, and video meetings support face-to-face conversation when that is preferred. Licensed professionals can use these options to help people practice skills in everyday settings and maintain momentum between appointments.
