About Johnna

Johnna Hayes is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who brings practical, person-centered care to therapy. She frames sessions around each person’s needs and creates a calm space for honest conversation. Her tone is straightforward and supportive, aimed at helping people take real steps forward when life feels hard.

She has eight years of counseling experience and focuses on common struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. She also addresses career concerns, relationship and family issues, parenting challenges, grief, anger, coping with life changes, and ADHD.

Background and approach

Sessions are conversational and aimed at clarifying what matters most to the client. In a typical meeting she listens, asks questions, and helps set practical goals. She works to build trust so clients feel safe sharing real worries.

Progress is measured in small changes that add up over time. Her work style favors clear steps over jargon. Clients can expect help organizing thoughts, trying new coping strategies, and tracking what helps.

She encourages steady effort and honest feedback along the way. Johnna practices in Oklahoma and offers online session options. She uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time.

To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule based on availability.

Evidence-based strategies and online care

Many of her sessions use well-established therapeutic techniques that are easy to apply in everyday life. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Skills-based coping work teaches concrete tools for stress, anger, and parenting challenges so people can try them between sessions.

Finding the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will help figure out which approaches fit a person’s goals and preferences, and adjust the plan over time based on what is working. Clients are invited to share feedback so techniques stay useful and relevant.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats add flexibility for busy schedules and make it easier to keep consistent appointments. The range of options helps people choose what feels most comfortable while still working toward their goals.
