Joanne Schrock

Joanne Schrock is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina. She brings eight years of clinical counseling experience and decades of work in behavioral support to her sessions. Joanne focuses on clear, practical strategies to help people manage strong emotions, day-to-day stress, and life transitions.

Her background includes inpatient behavioral health and emergency room crisis work, where she supported people through intense moments. She has experience in residential settings with teens who have trauma histories and a long history as a behavior specialist. Those roles shaped her direct, skills-based approach in counseling.

Joanne uses cognitive-behavioral approaches to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that keep problems going. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy tools for emotion regulation and Solution-Focused Therapy to set concrete, manageable goals. Sessions emphasize practical techniques and step-by-step plans that people can try between meetings.

In the first meetings she focuses on building a trusting relationship and understanding each person’s priorities. Treatment is collaborative and tailored to what the individual wants to change. Joanne aims to create a calm, honest space where people can talk about anger, anxiety, grief, and other concerns without judgment.

She works in English and practices in South Carolina as an LPC. If someone is ready to take the next step, Joanne encourages them to complete the brief intake questions and schedule a session to see if the fit feels right.

How CBT, DBT, and Solution-Focused Work Online

Joanne commonly uses cognitive-behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking. CBT focuses on practical exercises and homework that can be reviewed together during sessions to reduce symptoms like anxiety, anger, or low mood.

She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT tools teach step-by-step skills for managing strong emotions and reducing impulsive reactions.

Solution-Focused Therapy helps people set small, achievable goals and build on what already works. It’s useful when someone wants fast, concrete changes and clear next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then shape the plan together. That collaborative process helps decide which techniques to emphasize over time.
