Joanne Slatinsky, LPC

Joanne Slatinsky is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia with 37 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, depression, ADHD and the ripple effects of family of origin issues. She also supports people facing changes such as divorce, caregiving demands, chronic illness, and aging concerns.

Her sessions focus on understanding how past family roles and patterns still affect daily life now. She helps people notice recurring cycles, set clearer boundaries, and practice new ways of relating. Conversations are straightforward and practical, with attention to how thoughts, behaviors, and relationships interact.

Joanne uses familiar, goal-oriented methods alongside reflective listening. She may work with cognitive behavioral ideas to shift unhelpful thinking and solution-focused steps to try different behaviors between sessions. Mindfulness techniques are included to help manage anxiety, while motivational interviewing can support decisions people want to make.

She sometimes integrates faith perspectives for clients who want that element, while keeping the focus on the client’s own goals. Joanne has experience supporting people coping with eating and sleep problems, anger, shame, and difficulties around intimacy and forgiveness.

People who come to her often want clear tools and guidance to change patterns rooted in their upbringing. She helps them identify small, practical steps and build skills that fit into everyday life.
