Johne Mitchell, LPC

Johne Mitchell is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 11 years of clinical experience based in Virginia. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, depression, trauma and related issues including social anxiety and phobia. She also addresses matters like grief, intimacy struggles, eating concerns, parenting, anger, self-esteem, bipolar symptoms, and coping with life changes.

Mitchell trained in clinical mental health counseling and has worked in community settings, crisis and trauma care, and substance use treatment. Much of her work has involved severe mental health challenges and helping people who cannot rely on family or friends for support. She often draws on solution-focused work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and person-centered methods.

In sessions she listens and asks straightforward questions to learn what matters most to the person sitting across from her. She looks for clear, practical ways to reduce distress and shift unhelpful patterns of thinking or behavior. That can mean shorter, focused steps or longer conversations depending on the situation.

She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness techniques alongside cognitive approaches when helpful. Emotionally-Focused Therapy elements inform work around relationships and connection. These tools aim to increase awareness and practical skills rather than promise a quick fix.

People who prefer direct conversation, practical strategies, and exploring root causes may find her approach useful. Before a first session she asks clients to describe their current concerns so sessions begin with clear priorities and goals.
