About Fquira
Fquira Johannes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 20 years of experience. She speaks directly and plainly in sessions and focuses on helping people take steady steps toward feeling better. She invites clients to set goals and partners with them through laughter, hard moments, and small wins.
Her approach treats the client as the expert on their own life. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing among other methods to help people identify unhelpful patterns and try new ways of coping. Mindfulness and client-centered techniques are also part of her toolbox.
Johannes has worked with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, substance use, trauma and abuse, grief, and codependency. She also addresses relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, eating and sleep challenges, and work or career stress.
She brings specific experience supporting people dealing with abandonment, blended family issues, body image, cancer-related stress, divorce and separation, and family of origin concerns. She adapts interventions for people with intellectual disability by using visual aids and hands-on activities when helpful.
Based in North Carolina, Johannes combines practical techniques with a collaborative stance. Sessions are focused on clear goals and small, achievable steps. She encourages people to start where they are and build momentum toward changes that matter.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting partnership. The therapist follows the client's lead, helps clarify goals, and supports decisions without taking over. This approach helps when someone needs validation, coaching, or a place to sort feelings and choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. Sessions involve identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical experiments to change responses. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and patterns that feed codependency or avoidance.
Motivational Interviewing is a short-term, goal-focused style that helps people find internal reasons to change. It can be helpful for addictions, ambivalence around change, and starting new habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice may shift over time as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also allows flexible scheduling for someone balancing work, caregiving, or medical appointments. Licensed professionals can use these formats to keep momentum between sessions and to practice real-life strategies in daily routines.
