About Joni

Joni Obrecht, LPCC, is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with 17 years of clinical experience who works with people facing a wide range of mental health and life challenges. She emphasizes a warm, interactive, and non-judgmental style, aiming to create a respectful environment where individuals can explore symptoms, patterns, and goals. Her skill set includes trauma-focused techniques - she is TF-CBT certified, which means she is trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, an evidence-informed approach for addressing traumatic stress in adults and youth.

Joni applies person-centered principles alongside structured methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, solution-focused strategies, and trauma-informed care to tailor treatment to each person's needs. She has experience supporting people with depression, anxiety, PTSD and trauma, relationship and parenting difficulties, grief and loss, anger-related concerns, domestic violence, impulse control issues, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, personality disorder features, phobias, sleep disturbances, and bipolar disorder.

Her approach balances empathetic listening with practical skills and collaborative planning so individuals can build coping strategies and move toward meaningful change. Joni aims to meet each person where they are and to adapt interventions to the unique circumstances and goals presented in therapy.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy is grounded in empathy and respect; it focuses on the client's own experience and supports self-directed growth by offering acceptance, reflective listening, and collaborative goal-setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skills training, and is often used for anxiety, depression, and trauma-related symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills to help manage intense emotions and improve relationships.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself, and Joni collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That process is flexible and may combine elements from different approaches to fit the individual.

Many of these methods translate well to remote formats. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when demonstration and real-time feedback are helpful, phone sessions offer an accessible option when video is not possible, and live chat or text-based messaging can support brief check-ins, skills practice, and care between scheduled sessions. These options enhance flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while maintaining consistent therapeutic progress.
