About Joni
Joni Obrecht is an Ohio-based licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 17 years of experience. She focuses on helping people feel heard and respected while they work through stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and addiction. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental and aimed at making sessions feel manageable for a busy life.
In sessions she keeps things practical and conversational. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and to build new habits.
Background and approach
She also draws on client-centered methods to match pace to the person's needs and to make space for what matters most to them. For people facing trauma or intense emotional pain, she integrates trauma-focused ideas and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to help manage strong emotions and improve coping. Solution-focused techniques are used to set concrete steps and small goals between sessions.
The mix is tailored to each person rather than fixed to a single method. Joni has worked with many concerns across adult life, including parenting stress, intimacy problems, career strain, and chronic illness impacts. She also supports people dealing with identity-related stresses such as LGBT issues and the effects of past abuse.
Her goal is to help clients find clearer direction and more day-to-day relief. People who choose to work with her can expect straightforward coaching, goal setting, and skills practice alongside thoughtful listening. She guides each person toward practical changes that fit their daily routines.

Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Joni uses Existential ideas to help people name what matters most in their lives and to face big questions about purpose and choice. That approach can help with career changes, grief, and life transitions by clarifying values and priorities.She also integrates Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes open listening and paced conversation so clients set the agenda. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides concrete tools to notice thinking patterns and practice new behaviors that reduce anxiety and depression symptoms.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adjusts those methods over time as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video works well for fuller conversation and visual cues, phone calls suit quicker check-ins or lower bandwidth, chat can be a brief way to touch base, and messaging supports stepwise coaching or ongoing skill practice between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between meetings.
