About Joni
Joni Obrecht is an Ohio LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, parenting strain, trauma and recovery, and substance-related challenges. Joni also addresses intimacy issues, self-esteem, career stress, and the effects of life transitions.
Her approach is straightforward and conversational. She uses client-centered methods to listen and reflect, then pairs that listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Sessions tend to focus on problem-solving and building specific skills for coping and communication.
Joni has long experience responding to trauma and abuse and uses trauma-focused ideas alongside solution-focused techniques. She helps people break down problems into manageable steps and practice new patterns between sessions. That practical emphasis can suit people juggling parenting, work, and caregiving demands.
She also works with issues that often overlap with family stress, such as blended family dynamics, divorce and separation, abandonment, codependency, and caregiver burnout. Joni uses plain language to help people recognize patterns and try clearer communication strategies.
Sessions are offered in English and from Ohio. The cost varies by location and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.
How sessions work
How Joni uses common approaches in online sessions
Joni draws on client-centered therapy to make room for the person's concerns and priorities. That approach means the therapist listens carefully, reflects what she hears, and helps the client set the topics for work. It is useful for people who want a conversational way to sort out feelings and choices.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings. CBT offers concrete exercises and homework to test new ways of thinking and behaving, and it is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger management. Dialectical behavior therapy adds skill-building for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, which can help with intense reactions and relationship patterns.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try approaches in session, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That collaborative process means methods can shift as needs change.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because format details are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit regular check-ins into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter focused visits when you need a quick check-in rather than a full in-person appointment.
