About Joanna
Joanna Fleming is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Georgia with five years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Her work often focuses on attachment issues and communication struggles that make relationships feel stuck.
Joanna uses clear, practical conversations to identify what feels most urgent. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to look at emotions and attachment patterns that underlie repeating problems. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools to build skills for handling anxiety and painful thoughts.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Joanna listens for patterns in how people respond to stress and then works with them to try new ways of relating and coping. She can help with panic, postpartum mood changes, caregiver stress, and issues that come from family of origin dynamics.
Her approach includes client-centered techniques that encourage honest reflection and practical strategies for day-to-day life. Joanna also addresses dissociation, control issues, guilt and shame, and challenges that arise after domestic violence or other traumatic events. She supports people dealing with isolation, finding life purpose, and repairing communication.
If you are considering therapy, she asks for a short initial questionnaire to match needs and then schedules a first session. Sessions are offered in English and she practices under her Georgia LPC credential.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions and attachment patterns shape repeating problems. In brief online sessions this can help people name hard feelings and try new ways of relating to themselves and others. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical steps to notice thoughts and choose actions that line up with your values, which can reduce getting stuck in avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns formed in close relationships and works on building different responses to connection and loss.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Joanna will talk with the client about their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to change. Together they choose techniques and pace the work so it fits the person's needs rather than imposing a single method.
Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, for example by saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or avoiding the need to be on camera for every meeting. Licensed professionals can adapt EFT, ACT, and CBT tools to work in virtual appointments, and Joanna will discuss practical arrangements when you begin.
