Joanne Schrock, LPC - Therapist in South Carolina

About Joanne

Joanne Schrock is a licensed professional counselor who uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage stress, parenting challenges, anxiety, and relationship concerns. She relies on straightforward techniques and clear goals. Sessions focus on skills and steps a person can try between meetings.

Her manner is direct and compassionate, aimed at making change feel doable. Joanne brings eight years of counseling experience in behavioral health and crisis settings. She has worked with people facing depression, bipolar disorder, trauma-related concerns, ADHD, and anger.

Background and approach

That background informs a hands-on approach when someone needs immediate coping tools or wants to rebuild daily routines. Her primary methods include cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions, and dialectical behavior therapy, which teaches emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. She also uses solution-focused techniques to identify small changes that lead to progress.

These approaches are chosen to match each person’s needs. Joanne emphasizes collaboration. Treatment plans are shaped with the client’s input and practical life goals.

She values honest feedback and adapts strategies when something isn’t working. She practices in South Carolina and holds the LPC credential, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor. Sessions are offered in English and can cover a wide range of concerns including parenting, family matters, grief, sleep problems, and intimacy-related issues.

Online approaches that focus on skills and solutions

Joanne commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to guide online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replaces them with practical ways to respond, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Dialectical behavior therapy teaches skills for managing strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness when relationships feel strained.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Joanne works together with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and daily life. She checks in about what's working and adjusts the plan so progress stays realistic and attainable.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to keep regular contact, practice new skills between meetings, and fit therapy into busy family routines. The variety of options supports flexibility while keeping the focus on clear, practical steps toward change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
