About Johne

Johne Mitchell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia with 11 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem struggles, ADHD, and other mood and behavioral issues.

She trained with an MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and has worked in community settings, family services, crisis response, trauma-focused roles, and substance-use programs. That mix has shaped a practical, problem-focused way of working. Sessions tend to center on finding clearer next steps rather than long lectures or empty reassurance.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, Emotionally-Focused and Client-Centered methods. In practice that means talking through thoughts and behaviors, noticing patterns, and trying small changes to see what helps. She emphasizes listening first and then testing strategies that fit daily life.

People who come to her often want concrete ways to manage anger, reduce reactivity, improve communication, or cope with substance use and traumatic stress. She also supports those working through grief, intimacy concerns, workplace stress, and identity-related matters such as LGBT issues.

Sessions focus on clear goals, skill building, and practical coping steps. The aim is to reduce overwhelm and create manageable routines that make responding to stress easier over time.

How sessions work

How her methods translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It often focuses on building skills to tolerate difficult feelings while moving toward meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes being heard; the therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead to shape goals and next steps.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with the client to try methods that fit their goals and preferences, adjusting techniques over time if something isn’t working. The emphasis is on experimenting with small changes together and measuring what actually helps in daily life.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Online work also lets people practice new skills between sessions in the settings where problems actually happen, which can speed up learning and make changes more practical.
