Fquira Johannes , LCSW

Fquira Johannes brings two decades of clinical experience to her practice as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), offering steady, skillful support for people facing a wide range of life challenges. She approaches therapy with the belief that the person in treatment is the expert on their own life while she provides clinical guidance, practical tools, and compassionate partnership to help clarify goals and take manageable steps toward change.

Her work addresses symptoms and concerns such as depression, bipolar disorder, borderline features, PTSD, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, grief, trauma and abuse, and challenges with sleep, eating, parenting, and intimacy. She uses evidence-informed interventions with a specialty in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing, adapting techniques to each person’s needs. When supporting people with intellectual disability she incorporates visual aids and activity-based approaches to make strategies more accessible.

Fquira recognizes that therapy can feel like a steady pace at times and like a slow crawl at others, and she normalizes the range of emotions that appear in the work - laughter, tears, and even anger. She emphasizes commitment as a practice that begins with showing up, and she partners with people to inch forward toward improvement so that engagement and progress become more sustainable over time.

Approachable Therapies and Online Care Options

Fquira combines client-centered therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to tailor care to each person’s needs. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and collaboration so the client’s own goals guide the work; it is helpful for building trust, exploring values, and strengthening motivation for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and many daily coping challenges. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational, goal-focused approach that helps people resolve ambivalence and find internal reasons to move toward recovery or habit change.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Fquira works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds.

Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options increase flexibility for busy schedules, allow ongoing support between sessions, and make it easier to connect from different locations while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor care to individual needs.
