Joni Reed
I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counsellor (LPCC) based in California. I received my Masters from Texas A&M University of San Antonio (yes, I’m a native Texan living in CA), and have been practicing for 5 years. I assist my clients in overcoming negative thoughts ,and breaking systems of perceptions that aren’t serving them well.
If my clients show up authentically for sessions and are willing to put into application the tools, insights, and exercises offered in sessions, they will begin to see change.
I enjoy supporting my clients in building their self-esteem and self- worth, and help them find a new version of their life in which they have opportunities to experience freedom and self acceptance.
First session
As expected, the first few sessions can be a little daunting. I am very aware of many uncertainties and anxiety that may arise, therefore my warm and accepting presence helps build vulnerability and trust within the therapeutic alliance. I am very confident that after a few sessions, my clients will feel safe to speak and share what is on their mind and what may be plaguing their heart.
Strengths
My greatest strength is the ability to enable my clients to feel safe. My nonjudgmental countenance helps my clients feel that I am their advocate. Not only do I offer support, when necessary I offer the gift of challenging their own thoughts and perspectives. I utilize this effective tool to help my clients take a greater look at their inner world and how their external world is being impacted.
Ideal clients
I am best positioned to serve clients who want to get free from cycles of limited thinking and patterns of behavior that are not serving them well. I work best with clients who are wanting to put in the work to acquire true transformation that will equip them to live the life they have wanted to live, yet never believed they could.
Treatment methods
Brainspotting
I use Brainspotting when my clients feel emotionally stuck, experience anxiety or need assistance process through reoccurring thoughts.
Christian Counseling
Depending on one’s faith to assist on a journey of wholeness and freedom has offered my clients great optimism in regards to their healing.
Faith-based therapy
I have found success when integrating spirituality within sessions, as it is a foundational tool that can lead to greater healing.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Sometimes it’s necessary to accept that which is, and move forward toward what can be. ACT has helped my clients move beyond their rumination and negative thinking patterns.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Having my clients understand the motives behind their behaviors and thinking has helped aid them in taking back control of how they show up in life
