About

Johanna Wekar

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been in practice for over 20 years. I am intensively trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I also specialize in ACT, DBT-PE and CBT. I enjoy working with older adolescents, adults and seniors. I work with a variety of presenting problems including depression, anxiety, PTSD, maladaptive behaviors and dysregulated emotions.
 

I have supervised and trained other clinicians utilizing DBT.  I also am trained in the Seven Principles of Making Marriage Work and Bringing Home Baby.  I have trained through Level 2 of the Gottman Method.  I am an LGBTQIA ally.
 

I am only providing Teletherapy.  I am a warm, collaborative, down-to-earth clinician with a straight-forward and validating approach.

About
01.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a compassionate, evidence-based type of cognitive behavioral treatment for individuals who have significant difficulty regulating emotions and behaviors. 

02.

Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is an action-oriented approach to psychotherapy that stems from traditional behavior therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy.

03.

The Gottman Method for Healthy Relationships is a form of couples-based therapy. One of the major tenets of the Gottman Method is that couples require five times more positive interactions than negative, as negative emotions, like defensiveness and contempt, hurt a relationship more than positive ones heal.
