About Joanne
Joanne Slatinsky is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Georgia with 37 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, anger, grief, sleep and eating problems, depression, ADHD, and life changes. She also addresses concerns connected to aging, caregiving, chronic illness, and communication or control issues.
Joanne uses straightforward conversation and practical tools to help people examine their reactions and patterns. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect what matters to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try modest behavior changes. Mindfulness techniques and Solution-Focused strategies are brought in to manage strong feelings and set small, achievable goals.
She often helps people who carry long-standing stress or trauma to notice how those experiences affect daily life. That can mean working on anger that surfaces at home or resentment that builds at work. Joanne can include discussions of faith when clients want that perspective included.
Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings, and on clearer communication with others. Her work pays attention to health-related challenges too, such as chronic pain or caregiving strain, because these issues shape mood and behavior.
Joanne describes her style as respectful and attentive. She helps people sort immediate problems and plan steady, realistic changes. To begin, clients follow the site's matching and scheduling process to arrange a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Joanne commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy means the therapist listens closely and reflects what matters most to the client, which helps clarify goals and concerns. CBT focuses on recognizing unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce stress and anger. Mindfulness Therapy teaches short practices for noticing strong emotions and grounding attention so reactions feel less automatic.Choosing the right mix of methods is part of the therapeutic process. Joanne will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as progress is made. That collaborative planning helps people try concrete skills between sessions and evaluate what helps most.
