About Jonnie
Jonnie MiddletonLotte is an Arkansas Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, bipolar disorder, and depression. Jonnie also addresses guilt and shame alongside issues such as addiction and life purpose.
She focuses on clear, practical steps in sessions. That can mean learning coping skills, testing unhelpful thoughts, or practicing techniques to reduce overwhelming emotions. Sessions are collaborative and paced to what a person can handle in the moment.
Jonnie has a background supporting military veterans and survivors of sexual assault. She combines structured methods with a person-centered stance to help people process past events and manage current symptoms. She draws on a range of approaches to match the concern and the client’s preferences.
In work with trauma and grief she may use guided processing alongside skills for emotional regulation. For mood disorders and anxiety she often integrates behavioral experiments and value-driven actions to reduce stuck patterns. For addiction and problem substance use she attends to triggers, coping strategies, and relapse prevention planning.
People who carry guilt or shame often come for focused attention on those feelings. Jonnie helps name those patterns, look at their effects, and practice small behavioral shifts. The goal is clearer thinking and steadier daily functioning rather than quick fixes.
How Jonnie uses evidence-based approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and still move toward a life they value. It focuses on small actions tied to personal values rather than fighting every uncomfortable feeling. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thoughts and habits into manageable steps and tests new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) offers a structured way to process distressing memories using bilateral stimulation and guided recall; it is often used for trauma-related symptoms.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, symptoms, and preferences and suggest methods to try. They aim to adapt techniques over a few sessions so the client and therapist can see what helps most.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. Those practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while they try new skills and process difficult memories.
