About Joanne

Joanne Slatinsky is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia with 37 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are stressed, anxious, grieving, or struggling with relationship and intimacy-related issues. She also helps people dealing with sleep and eating concerns, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and ADHD-related challenges.

Joanne focuses on practical, person-centered care. Sessions look at how day-to-day patterns affect mood and relationships. She listens for what feels most urgent and helps clients build small, usable strategies to respond differently. She also addresses longer-term patterns that come from family of origin, chronic illness, caregiving roles, or past trauma.

Her approach draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused methods. That mix supports coping skills, clearer communication, and step-by-step behavior changes. She can integrate conversations about faith for clients who want a Christian perspective as part of therapy.

Joanne has significant experience supporting people through life changes such as divorce, aging and caregiving stress, chronic pain or illness, and the emotional fallout from infidelity, guilt, or shame. She also helps people who are stuck in patterns of codependency or who feel isolated and lonely.

In sessions she works collaboratively to identify goals, try practical tools, and check what is working. People leave with concrete ideas for setting boundaries, managing anxiety, improving sleep and eating habits, or coping better with grief and loss.

How sessions work

How Joanne uses therapy approaches online

Joanne commonly draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy when working with people. Client-centered therapy means the conversation is guided by the person’s concerns and priorities, helping them name what matters and try ideas that fit their life. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills for anxiety, mood, sleep, and relationship patterns.

She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice stress and respond to it differently. Mindfulness practices can be short exercises that reduce reactivity and improve focus for everyday tasks. These approaches are chosen together so the work fits a person’s goals and preferences rather than being imposed from the start.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joanne will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try different methods, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative process includes discussing whether elements of a Christian perspective should be part of sessions for those who want that.
