About Joanne

Joanne Schrock is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are wrestling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and mood concerns. Joanne also supports people managing ADHD and related challenges such as sleep disruption and impulsivity.

Her approach centers on cognitive-behavioral methods that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and habits. She blends practical skill-building with short-term solution-focused strategies to help clients make tangible changes.

Background and approach

Dialectical behavior ideas are used when people need tools for emotion regulation and crisis coping. Joanne’s background includes inpatient behavioral health and emergency room crisis work, where quick assessment and steady support were essential. That experience informs how she responds to intense emotions and sudden life changes.

She also has long experience as a behavior specialist working with people who need structure and clear strategies. In sessions she aims for straightforward collaboration. Goals are set together and progress is reviewed along the way.

Clients are offered concrete techniques they can try between meetings, and those skills are adjusted as needs shift. Her practice offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Sessions are delivered in English and are shaped around each person’s goals and life demands.

Practical approaches for online care

Joanne uses cognitive-behavioral therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions often include specific exercises and short tasks to practice between meetings, which can help with anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related routines.

She also draws from dialectical behavior therapy when strong emotions or impulsive reactions are present. DBT-style skills focus on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness in day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joanne collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in on what’s working and adjusts techniques together as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for fuller conversation and visual cues, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging can fit quick check-ins, brief skill coaching, or people who prefer not to use video. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules.
