About Joanne
Joanne Slatinsky is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia with 37 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, coping with life changes, grief, eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, depression, and ADHD.
She offers straightforward, practical work that looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Sessions often focus on spotting unhelpful thought patterns, testing new responses, and building small habits that change daily life. Joanne uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered methods, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques to guide that process.
Her background spans many years of counseling across a wide range of concerns. She helps people who are coping with chronic illness or pain, caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, and the emotional strain of divorce or separation. She also addresses family of origin issues, communication problems, codependency, control issues, infidelity, and complex grief.
Joanne describes work with eating and food-related issues, shame and guilt, forgiveness, jealousy, isolation and loneliness, and questions about life purpose. She draws on mindfulness practices to slow reactivity and on solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals people can try between sessions. Her use of motivational interviewing can help when someone feels stuck about making changes.
In sessions she will listen to the immediate problem, outline practical steps to try, and track how those steps affect daily routines and relationships. People who want concrete tools for changing thinking and behavior will find a direct, structured way of working.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Joanne uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns in their thinking and try different, specific responses. CBT sessions focus on clear goals, homework tasks, and skills people can practice between meetings to change anxiety, low mood, or unhelpful habits.She also draws on client-centered methods that prioritize listening and reflecting what matters most to the person. That helps identify values and goals to guide practical work. Mindfulness therapy is used to develop attention and reduce reactivity through short practices that can be done daily and reviewed in session.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. Joanne will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to emphasize based on the current problem, goals, and personal preferences. Together they plan manageable steps and review what works as therapy progresses.
