About Joanne
Joanne Slatinsky is a licensed professional counselor in Georgia with 37 years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and relationship or intimacy concerns. Her work aims to make overwhelming moments more manageable and to build clearer ways to handle day-to-day challenges.
She focuses on practical steps people can take. Sessions often involve talking through patterns, trying small behavior changes, and practicing new ways to cope.
Background and approach
Joanne uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral work and mindfulness to help reduce distress and increase calm. Joanne pays close attention to how past experiences shape current relationships. She helps people untangle family of origin issues, betrayal or infidelity, and communication problems.
She also supports those facing grief, life transitions, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and issues around eating and sleep. Her style is warm and respectful. She meets people where they are and works at a steady, realistic pace.
Spiritual beliefs can be included in sessions when a person wants that perspective brought into therapy. Joanne offers a mix of short-term problem solving and longer-term work. She often blends client-centered listening with solution-focused strategies.
The aim is to help people feel more in control and able to move forward in their lives.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Joanne draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behavior through clear exercises and homework. It can help with anxiety, anger, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and bring more calm into daily life. These practices can reduce overwhelm and support emotional regulation.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Joanne will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs. She collaborates with clients to adjust techniques over time so the plan matches what actually helps you feel better and function more effectively.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit quick exchanges, brief check-ins, or ongoing written reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep continuity when life gets hectic.
