About Johne
Johne Mitchell is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Virginia with 11 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, parenting strains, anger, self-esteem problems, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and other mood or behavioral difficulties.
Mitchell began clinical training after completing a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2011. She has spent much of her career working in community settings, crisis care, trauma-focused roles, and with substance use and severe mental health challenges. That background informs how she structures sessions and what she notices when a problem is urgent or layered.
In sessions she uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside client-centered work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. Those approaches are used to help people name emotions, notice patterns, and try specific steps that change daily habits and reactions.
Expect focused conversations that identify what keeps a problem going and small experiments to test new ways of responding. She listens for relationship and attachment patterns as part of understanding how emotions get activated and repeated.
Her work often centers on practical tools for coping, improving communication, and managing mood or addictive behaviors. Sessions emphasize clear goals, skill practice, and checking what is or is not working as progress is tracked.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps name and track the emotions that underlie recurring patterns. It is useful for recognizing attachment dynamics and moments that trigger strong reactions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and gives concrete steps to test and change unhelpful patterns.The therapist treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will work with the client to decide which mix of EFT, CBT, ACT, or mindfulness fits the person's needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.
Confirm the current session options before booking since specific online formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. They also let clients use video or audio to focus on the work without rearranging schedules, which can help maintain momentum between sessions.
