About Fquira

Fquira Johannes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 20 years of experience. She focuses on practical help for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, relationship pain, or major life changes. She speaks English and sees clients from North Carolina and internationally.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She treats each person as the expert on their life and works alongside them to set realistic goals. Sessions may include problem-solving, skills practice, and checking simple progress steps so small gains build over time.

Fquira uses several approaches that fit different needs. She often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about change. She also uses mindfulness and solution-focused work to calm intense moments and set short-term goals.

When supporting people with intellectual disability, she adapts materials and uses visual aids and hands-on activities. That means tasks and explanations are more concrete and easier to follow for some learners. The goal is to make sessions useful and understandable rather than complex.

Her background also includes work with addiction and trauma, and she has experience addressing eating and sleeping difficulties, family problems, and compassion fatigue. People who want clear steps, practical tools, and a steady partner in change may find her approach helpful.

Step 3

Therapeutic approaches and online work

Fquira commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and it can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and eating patterns. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to resolve mixed feelings about change and is useful for addictions and making lasting behavior shifts.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work together with each person to pick and adjust methods based on goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That collaboration means techniques are tailored rather than fixed.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online therapy can fit more easily into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make it simpler to keep regular check-ins. It can also allow for shorter follow-ups or phone-based check-ins when that suits a client's day. Ask about available formats when you schedule so sessions match your needs and routine.
