Fquira Johannes, LCSW

Fquira Johannes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina with 20 years of clinical experience. She views mental health care as an essential component of overall wellbeing and partners with people to set realistic goals and move toward them at a pace that fits their lives. Therapy can feel like steady progress at times and a slow crawl at others, and Fquira recognizes that laughter, tears, and anger can all be part of meaningful change. She emphasizes commitment through consistent attendance and collaborative work - as clients show up and engage, progress often becomes more achievable and confidence in the process grows.

Across two decades of practice, Fquira has supported people managing depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, anxiety, and substance-related concerns, as well as a wide range of life challenges including relationship and family issues, grief, intimacy difficulties, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, and career-related stress. Her approach centers on the client's expertise about their own life while she contributes clinical skill and structure. She draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies to tailor interventions to each person. When working with individuals who have intellectual disability, she incorporates visual aids and interactive activities to enhance understanding and engagement.

As an LCSW - a licensed clinical social worker with advanced clinical training in assessment and psychotherapy - Fquira blends practical techniques with a respectful, strengths-based stance. She aims to be a steady, experienced partner for people navigating change, recovery, and the everyday demands of life.
