About Fquira

Fquira Johannes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina who focuses on helping people improve self esteem and cope with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and relationship struggles. She aims to meet clients where they are and partner with them to take manageable steps forward. Sessions can include straightforward talk, practical skills, and moments of emotion as part of the healing process.

Johannes emphasizes that the client is the expert on their life while she offers clinical guidance toward clear goals. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and other client-centered methods to break problems into workable parts. That often means identifying unhelpful thinking, experimenting with small behavior changes, and tracking progress over time.

With two decades of experience, she has worked with people managing depression, bipolar symptoms, PTSD, anxiety, and substance-related concerns. She also addresses parenting strain, family-of-origin problems, body image, intimacy issues, and the stress that comes from life transitions. Practical tools and short-term goal setting are common features of her sessions.

Her background includes long-term clinical practice and an emphasis on collaborative care. English-language sessions are offered, and international clients can be accepted. Before beginning, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire so scheduling can reflect therapist availability and client needs.

People who want a direct but compassionate clinician who focuses on real-life strategies may find her style helpful. The work often blends empathy with hands-on techniques to support clearer thinking and stronger self-regard.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's goals. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what she hears, and helps set clear next steps for change. This approach is useful for people who want a collaborative, empathic space to sort priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions typically involve identifying unhelpful thinking, trying small behavior changes, and reviewing results. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, low self-esteem, sleep issues, and mood struggles.

Motivational Interviewing helps people resolve mixed feelings about change. It uses questions and reflections to boost a person's own reasons for making shifts, which can support recovery from substance concerns, habit changes, or career and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a client's needs, goals, and preferences. Clients and the therapist adjust strategies together as work progresses.

If you plan to use online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, save travel time, and allow more flexible scheduling for short check-ins or regular weekly sessions depending on what the therapist offers.
