About Joni
Joni Obrecht is an Ohio LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with 17 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting pressures, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, anger, and related issues.
Joni uses clear, practical methods in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to teach skills for managing strong emotions and changing unhelpful patterns. She also uses Client-Centered and Solution-Focused techniques to keep work grounded and goal-oriented.
Her background includes long experience with trauma and PTSD and work with mood disorders such as bipolar. She has experience addressing impulse control, obsessive-compulsive concerns, phobias, sleep problems, and the stresses that come from caregiving and long-term illness.
Sessions focus on what a person wants to change. Joni offers practical tools for controlling reactivity, handling resentment, and communicating under stress. She also supports people dealing with loss, identity and LGBT concerns, and life transitions.
Her style is interactive and grounded in evidence-based practices. People leave with concrete steps to try between sessions. To begin, clients use an online matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the designated booking flow.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person in front of the therapist, helping the client feel heard and guiding discussion toward the issues they want to work on. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses structured exercises to identify thoughts and behaviors that fuel anger and then tests new ways of responding that reduce reactivity. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and describing feelings without escalation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joni will collaborate with each person to pick strategies that match their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. That means deciding together whether to emphasize skills practice, thought restructuring, or brief solution-focused steps during sessions.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people choose whether to use video or phone in ways that suit their daily life. Licensed professionals use these approaches to help people practice new skills between sessions and apply them in real situations.
