About Johnna
Johnna Hayes is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who brings eight years of clinical experience to sessions. She focuses on practical support for common struggles such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career concerns, relationship and family worries, grief, anger, depression, parenting challenges, and ADHD. Her style is straightforward and calm, designed to help people feel heard and understood.
She aims to build trust quickly so clients can talk about what matters without feeling judged.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on real-life tools and steps that fit each person’s situation. Johnna emphasizes small, manageable changes rather than overwhelming plans. Her background includes working with adults facing life transitions and emotional strain.
She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood, motivation, and coping skills. Over eight years she has guided people through job stress, relationship shifts, grief, and parenting stressors. In a typical session she listens first, then helps identify practical strategies to try between meetings.
That might include coping skills, communication practice, or ways to rebuild confidence. Progress is tracked in simple ways so clients can see what’s working. Parents exploring therapy will find a down-to-earth approach that respects individual circumstances.
Johnna helps parents work through parenting concerns and the stress they bring, offering plans that fit into busy schedules. She encourages gradual change and realistic goals.

Evidence-based techniques and flexible online care
Johnna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques aimed at practical change. One approach focuses on building coping skills for stress and anxiety by teaching breathing, grounding, and step-by-step problem solving to reduce overwhelm. Another approach emphasizes improving self-esteem and motivation through goal-setting, behavior changes, and skills that help rebuild confidence and daily routines.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, values, and comfort level, and will adjust strategies as progress is made. The process is conversational and goal-oriented, with regular check-ins to see what helps.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels most helpful. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, on-the-go support, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between sessions.
