About Joanne
Joanne Schrock is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina who uses straightforward, practical methods to help people manage strong emotions and life stress. She leans on approaches that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and building everyday skills. Joanne draws on eight years of counseling experience and years of additional work as a behavior specialist to guide her work.
Joanne works with people facing anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and the strain of life transitions.
Background and approach
She helps those navigating relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, sleep problems, and challenges tied to trauma or past abuse. She also supports people living with ADHD, bipolar mood patterns, and issues related to identity and sexual orientation.
Her day-to-day approach centers on cognitive behavioral techniques that identify thought patterns that make feelings worse and then replace them with more helpful ways of thinking. She also uses dialectical behavior strategies to teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance skills. Solution-focused methods help set clear, achievable goals and track progress between sessions.
Joanne emphasizes a collaborative relationship built on honesty and respect. Sessions are practical and focused - clients learn specific skills they can use right away. She aims to tailor interventions to each person's needs and to involve the client in planning the next steps.
Joanne offers sessions through video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. Conversations about goals and small steps forward are central, whether addressing acute distress or ongoing life challenges.

Approaches that fit online therapy
Joanne primarily uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to guide online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing them into more helpful ones, which can reduce anxiety, low mood, and anger. Dialectical behavior therapy teaches concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal effectiveness, which helps when emotions feel overwhelming.She also draws on solution-focused therapy to set short-term, achievable goals and track steps forward. Picking the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist and client discuss needs, preferences, and goals and then adjust the approach as progress is made.
Online formats here include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls are helpful for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging support brief check-ins, skill practice, and flexible communication between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule and to keep momentum on skill-building and goal work.
