About Me

Joanne Kinney, LPC

Licensed Professional Counselor

Welcome—I’m so glad you’re here.

I provide individual counseling for adults, teens, and children (ages 10 and up) in Georgia (in-person and online) and Florida (online only). My approach is warm, relational, and compassionate. I believe therapy works best when you feel safe, supported, and genuinely understood.

Over the years, I’ve worked with clients dealing with a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, family or relationship stress, academic pressures, and major life transitions. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of how to cope—and together, we create a path forward that feels grounded and empowering.

I use evidence-based treatments including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), and Solution-Focused techniques to get to the root of your concerns and support real, lasting change. Whether you’re navigating daily stress or working through deeper emotional pain, we’ll focus on building tools to help you feel more centered, capable, and confident in your life.

Above all, I value the relationship I build with each client. Therapy isn’t just about working through problems—it’s also about helping you reconnect with your strengths, rediscover hope, and develop lasting emotional resilience.
