Joanna Oestmann, LMHC, LPC — Therapist in South Carolina

Hi there, I'm Joanna!

I work with adults seeking to reduce stressors and build new methods for health, gratitude, and grace. My client-centered philosophy uses solution-focused therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help you connect mind, body, spirit, and heart. Let's partner together on your journey toward wellness.

My focus

I enjoy working with adult women who want to partner on their journey toward health, wellness, gratitude, and grace, connecting mind, body, spirit, and heart. Choose you today!

My approach

I specialize in depression, anxiety, PTSD, adjustment disorders, relationship and intimacy issues, and grief. My treatment combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in a client-centered way. I believe in diversity, equity, and empowering you to regain control.

My communication style

I partner with each client to create a welcome, open, safe environment where we can share, assess what's happening now, and identify what you'd like to focus on for change.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always wanted to help bridge communication gaps and open the door to vulnerability, fear, and shame, transforming them together into new superpowers for growth and change.

My goals for you

I partner with each client to create an individualized treatment plan and goals based on your life experience and what you choose to work on for growth and success.

Our first session

The first session is an intake where we'll introduce ourselves, discuss hopes and expectations, review your biopsychosocial assessment, and identify problems and goals. I help clients take a break from self-doubt and worry so fear doesn't get in the way of a healthy, happy you.
