About Fquira
Fquira Johannes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 20 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, and a wide range of family and life changes. She also lists blended family issues among her focus areas and supports people managing parenting strain, career stress, and identity concerns.
She describes therapy as practical work that can feel steady or slow. Sessions can include laughter, anger, or tears. Commitment begins with showing up and taking small steps toward the goals a person sets.
Her approach treats the client as the expert on their life while she provides clinical guidance. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing along with client-centered techniques. These methods are used to clarify thinking, change unhelpful patterns, and boost motivation to try different behaviors.
When needed, she adapts materials for people with intellectual disability, using visual aides and hands-on activities. That practical mindset is applied to issues such as addiction, grief, intimacy-related problems, and coping with major life transitions.
She practices in North Carolina and sees people who speak English. People looking to work through blended household tensions, co-parenting frustrations, or the stress of merging routines may find her approach focused on concrete steps and problem solving.
Approaches used and how online work can fit
Client-centered work places the person's experience at the center. The therapist listens, asks questions, and helps people name goals. This style is useful when someone needs space to sort priorities and make a plan.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It breaks down problems into manageable parts and teaches practical techniques to change thinking and behavior. This approach often helps with anxiety, depression, and changing habits related to addiction.
Motivational Interviewing aims to increase a person's readiness to change. It uses guided conversation to strengthen internal motivation and resolve mixed feelings about change. That can be helpful when someone wants support moving toward healthier choices.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and collaborate on a plan based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That conversation usually happens early and can be revisited as progress is made.
