About Fquira
Fquira Johannes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, relationship concerns, and ADHD. Her style is direct and practical, and she encourages steady progress at a pace that fits each person.
She believes therapy is collaborative and that clients know themselves best. Sessions can include straightforward conversations, skill-building, and problem-solving to meet the goals a person brings.
Background and approach
Emotions such as laughter, tears, and anger are all part of the work at times. With 20 years of experience, she draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing to address symptoms and behaviors. Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques are also used to help people regain focus and cope with change.
The aim is to develop clearer thinking and more workable habits rather than rely on jargon. Fquira has worked with people facing a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping difficulties, intimacy challenges, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue. She adapts interventions to the situation and uses visual aids and activities when helpful for people with intellectual disability.
Sessions are offered in English and are available through online formats. She frames therapy as a partnership where commitment starts by showing up and taking small steps toward improvement.
How her approach translates to online therapy
Fquira commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT helps with anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and patterns that keep problems going.She also uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change. This method is useful for addictions, ambivalence about change, and building momentum toward goals. Mindfulness techniques are woven in to help reduce reactivity and improve focus in everyday life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to choose strategies that fit their needs and goals, and adapts methods as therapy progresses. Clients and therapist review what is and isn’t helping and adjust the plan together.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill practice, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework support, and quick problem solving between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between meetings.
