About Fquira
Fquira Johannes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 20 years of experience based in North Carolina. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and related life challenges. She approaches therapy as a collaborative effort and expects steady involvement that builds over time.
Her style centers on listening and practical work. She treats anger as one of many emotional responses that can show up alongside grief, relationship strain, or workplace stress. Sessions may include direct skill practice, goal setting, and short-term problem solving to reduce reactive patterns and improve daily functioning.
Fquira uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing among other methods. She leans on Client-Centered and Mindfulness approaches to keep the focus on the person’s own priorities. When needed, solution-focused techniques help identify quick, manageable steps forward.
Her background includes long experience with mood disorders, trauma, addiction, and complex family issues. She has worked with people managing bipolar symptoms, PTSD, grief, and codependency. For clients with intellectual disability she adapts materials with visual aids and activities to make sessions more accessible.
Fquira asks clients to be active partners in the work. She frames therapy as a series of small steps rather than a single fix. That practical, step-by-step focus guides her work with anger, relationship conflict, and coping with life changes.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy puts the client’s goals at the center. In practice this means the therapist listens, reflects what matters most, and helps set goals that match the client’s priorities. This approach is useful when someone wants to focus on anger rooted in relationships or life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thoughts, feelings, and actions into clear parts. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying small behavioral experiments to test new ways of responding. CBT is practical for workplace frustration, recurring anger, and mood symptoms.
Motivational Interviewing supports change by exploring a person’s own reasons for wanting to act differently. It is helpful when someone feels stuck or unsure about making changes related to addiction, habits, or commitment to therapy.
Deciding on the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help you choose or combine methods based on your goals and preferences. That decision is made together and can shift as progress is made.
