Joni Obrecht

Joni Obrecht is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 17 years of experience helping people manage strong emotions like anger and anxiety. She focuses on practical steps people can use right away and aims to make sessions feel respectful and comfortable.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, relationship strains, parenting challenges, and anger. She also supports people dealing with career stress, self-esteem problems, chronic illness, and the emotional fallout of major life changes.

Joni adapts her approach to each person. She uses client-centered conversations to listen and build rapport, cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking, and dialectical skills for emotion regulation. She also draws on solution-focused and existential ideas when helpful to set goals and clarify values.

Sessions are collaborative and practical. Clients can expect clear steps, behavioral tools, and gentle challenge when needed. The overall tone is warm, interactive, and nonjudgmental to help people feel understood while they try changes.

How approach choices shape online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a trusting relationship so clients feel heard and can explore what matters most; it helps when people need space to clarify feelings and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors with practical exercises; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and anger management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for tolerating distress, regulating emotions, and improving communication, which can help with intense emotional reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joni will talk with each person about goals, past attempts, and what feels doable. Together they decide which mix of methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.

Session formats are not listed in the provided biography, so confirm current options before booking. One practical benefit of remote sessions is fitting therapy into a busy week, such as arranging a session during a lunch break or after work. Remote meetings can also make it easier to use skill practice between sessions and to review homework or worksheets in real time. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises for screen or phone use so tools are useful in everyday situations.
