About Joanne
Joanne Slatinsky is a licensed professional counselor in Georgia who works with adults facing a wide range of emotional and life challenges.
Background and approach
With 37 years of clinical experience, she helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, and issues related to sleep, eating, anger, self-esteem, and ADHD. Her practice also addresses aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, and questions of life purpose.
Her therapeutic stance blends client-centered care with practical, evidence-informed methods. Joanne draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with mindfulness techniques, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies to help clients identify patterns, learn coping skills, and work toward tangible changes.
She creates a respectful, empathic space that honors each person’s values and life story, and for those who request it she can integrate guidance from a Christian perspective while keeping the focus on the client’s goals. Joanne holds the LPC credential (Georgia LPC LPC001174) and offers sessions in English.
She brings decades of experience to collaborative work aimed at improving wellbeing and navigating transitions.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Joanne commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her online work. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression, and it often involves practical skill-building and homework. Mindfulness Therapy teaches awareness and present-moment skills that can help manage stress, improve emotional regulation, and reduce reactivity in difficult situations.She also draws from Client-Centered principles, creating an empathic, nonjudgmental space where the person's values and goals guide the work. Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process; the therapist and client discuss needs, preferences, and goals and then tailor methods that feel most helpful for that individual.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for differing schedules and locations. These formats make it possible to continue therapy during life transitions, accommodate caregiving or mobility challenges, and maintain regular contact while working toward practical goals with a licensed professional.
