About Fquira
Fquira Johannes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 20 years of experience who helps people make steady progress when life feels overwhelming. She speaks plainly about hard moments and works alongside clients to take the next step, whether that looks like a small change or deeper work. Her approach accepts that therapy can bring laughter, tears, and sometimes anger as part of the process.
She focuses on practical goals and helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship struggles, grief, sleep problems, and career or family challenges. She also supports issues related to eating, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include abandonment, blended family concerns, body image, codependency, and communication problems.
Her style centers the client as the expert on their own life while she offers clinical guidance and structured tools. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to build new behaviors, and she uses Motivational Interviewing to support steady change and stronger commitment to goals. Mindfulness and solution-focused ideas are also part of her toolkit.
When working with people who have intellectual disability, she adapts sessions with visual aids and hands-on activities. Fquira practices in North Carolina and offers services while working with people in English. To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.
Her orientation is collaborative and goal-directed, with attention to fitting therapy into everyday life and helping clients take realistic next steps.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy centers the client as the expert on their life, with the therapist offering support and guidance toward agreed goals. This approach helps people who need a respectful, listening-based process to make decisions and solve problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; it often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and day-to-day coping strategies. Motivational Interviewing is a practical way to build readiness for change by exploring personal motivation and setting small, achievable steps.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then tailor methods in a collaborative way. Adjustments are made over time, and clients are invited to give feedback about what feels most helpful.
Confirm the available session formats before booking since this profile does not list them explicitly. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins can work around a lunch break, or sessions that do not require video can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can use these methods effectively at a distance, and the focus remains on making practical changes that fit a client’s everyday routine.
