About Fquira

Fquira Johannes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on helping people who are ready to take practical steps toward managing stress, anxiety, addiction, mood challenges, and relationship difficulties.

Background and approach

With two decades of experience, she centers the work on each person's goals and supports gradual progress whether change feels steady or slow. She emphasizes that commitment begins with showing up, and she partners with clients through the emotional ups and downs that often accompany therapy.

Her style blends respect for the client's knowledge of their own life with structured interventions to build skills and motivation. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful patterns and Motivational Interviewing to strengthen readiness for change, and she adapts tools such as visual aids when helpful.

Based in North Carolina, she brings 20 years of practice as an LCSW alongside experience helping people with depression, bipolar symptoms, trauma, substance concerns, grief, intimacy challenges, parenting and family issues, body image, and many related areas.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, collaborative relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead and helps clarify goals and values; this approach is useful for people seeking a supportive space to explore feelings and relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skill-based method that helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Motivational Interviewing helps strengthen a person's own motivation to change by exploring ambivalence and building commitment in a nonjudgmental way.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your concerns, consider your goals and preferences, and recommend or combine methods in a collaborative way so the plan feels manageable and aligned with what you want to achieve.

Online therapy offers flexibility through multiple formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule or connect from another location. These options allow licensed professionals to provide consistent care while adapting to how you prefer to communicate, supporting steady progress without requiring travel.
