About Joanne
Joanne Schrock is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina. She brings eight years of counseling experience and a long history working in behavioral roles. Joanne focuses on practical strategies to reduce anxiety and manage stress so people can feel steadier day to day.
Joanne uses straightforward, cognitive-behavioral techniques to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. She also draws on skills from dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
Background and approach
Solution-focused work helps set clear goals and find small steps toward them. Her background includes inpatient behavioral health and emergency room crisis counseling, and she has experience supporting people with mood disorders, trauma-related concerns, and attention challenges. That mix of settings shaped a calm, direct style that aims to make therapy useful from the start.
In sessions Joanne works with practical problems like sleep disruption, panic, grief, relationship strain, and parenting stress. She also supports people dealing with identity and LGBT-related concerns, life transitions, and persistent low self-esteem. Her approach centers on collaboration and on building trust so clients can try new ways of coping.
Joanne uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging to meet people where they are. She asks for input about goals and preferences and adapts tools to fit each person’s life. The focus is on skills that transfer to daily routines and on steady progress over time.
How CBT, DBT, and Solution-Focused Work Online
Joanne uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thoughts that drive anxiety and to practice different responses. CBT often focuses on small experiments and behavioral changes that reduce panic and improve sleep. DBT supplies clear skills for managing strong emotions and for tolerating distress without harmful actions. These skills are useful for mood swings, anger, and intense stress. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on setting reachable goals and finding immediate steps forward, which helps when life changes feel overwhelming.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client review goals, symptoms, and preferences and then try methods that fit. That collaborative selection means techniques can be mixed and adjusted as progress is tracked.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can use the format that fits their day. Video is helpful when visual cues matter and for full-session conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a quick check-in. Live chat and text are good for brief progress notes, coping reminders, or ongoing skills practice between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep consistent care around work, school, or family obligations.
