About Joanne

Joanne Schrock is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who centers her work in cognitive behavioral approaches to help clients manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and other life challenges.

Background and approach

She brings eight years of clinical experience in behavioral health settings, including work in emergency room crisis counseling and inpatient care, and has supported people coping with mood disorders, trauma-related concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and anger difficulties.

Her practice emphasizes collaboration and practical strategies tailored to each person’s needs, drawing on CBT alongside techniques from dialectical behavior therapy and solution-focused work as appropriate. Joanne values a therapeutic relationship grounded in trust, respect, honesty, and compassion, and she involves clients in setting goals and shaping treatment.

She also has an extended background as a behavior specialist and experience with residential treatment for adolescents, which informs her approach to communication, problem solving, and skill-building. Joanne practices from South Carolina and conducts sessions in English.

She aims to support people navigating coping with life changes, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting and family issues, sleep problems, and a range of related difficulties by applying structured, evidence-informed strategies within a collaborative therapeutic partnership.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Work

Joanne commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach focuses on practical skills such as problem solving, behavioral activation, and anxiety management that can be practiced between sessions. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy strategies to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills when clients are navigating strong emotions or relationship stress.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Joanne works with clients to clarify goals, explore which methods fit their needs, and adapt techniques over time so the plan reflects individual preferences and real-life circumstances.

Online sessions are offered through a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility in how therapy fits into daily life. These formats make it possible to attend from different locations, use shorter check-ins or longer sessions as needed, and practice new skills in real-world contexts while maintaining regular contact with a licensed professional.
