About Fquira
Fquira Johannes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, and other life challenges. She emphasizes steady progress and practical steps that fit into a person's day.

Mindfulness exercises are used to improve focus and calm in daily life.

She also supports people facing career stress, compassion fatigue, and major life transitions. Practical strategies and clear next steps are central to her work.
Fquira adapts methods when needed, for example by using visual aids and activities when working with people who have intellectual disability. She has worked with complex presentations including mood disorders and trauma-related symptoms. Her practice is based in North Carolina and she communicates in English.
Clients start by clarifying goals, then work at a pace that feels manageable. The focus is on real-world changes - small steps that add up over time.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person and their goals. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients decide their next steps. This approach helps with relationship concerns, self-esteem, and grief by keeping the client's priorities central.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. In sessions, clients learn practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and eating-related problems.
Motivational Interviewing helps when a person feels stuck or unsure about change. It uses respectful conversation to uncover personal reasons for change and build motivation, which can help with addictions, ambivalence about treatment, and lifestyle goals.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust based on what works for the client's needs and preferences. Clients help set goals and choose which methods to apply.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fit into a busy schedule and shorter check-ins when helpful. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it simpler to maintain momentum between sessions and practice skills in everyday settings.
