About Jonnie
Jonnie MiddletonLotte is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arkansas with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, bipolar disorder, and depression. Jonnie also helps people who are questioning life purpose after big changes in work, relationships, or health.
She commonly supports people dealing with trauma recovery, survivors of sexual assault, and military veterans. Sessions focus on practical coping skills and step-by-step plans to manage overwhelming feelings and symptoms. Jonnie draws on therapies that help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding.
Her approach emphasizes clear goals and regular skills practice. She uses methods that teach grounding, emotional regulation, and strategies for shifting rigid thinking. This helps with panic, low mood, compulsive behaviors, and reactions linked to past events.
Jonnie pays attention to life transitions and the practical barriers people face. She works with chronic illness and pain, relationship separation, addiction concerns, guilt and shame, and age-related issues. Conversations often include concrete problem solving and planning for daily routines.
Sessions are collaborative and focused on what the person wants to change next. Jonnie helps people test small changes, track results, and adjust the plan as needed. The emphasis is on steady steps toward clearer priorities and more manageable day-to-day functioning.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for worry, low mood, and finding direction after change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic, depression, or compulsions. It uses clear experiments and homework to track progress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) addresses distress linked to traumatic memories by using structured bilateral stimulation alongside memory processing. It is often used for post-traumatic stress and trauma recovery.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try first. That recommendation can change as sessions reveal what helps most, so planning stays collaborative and pragmatic.
Confirm the session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online methods. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a workday or caregiving schedule, or prefer shorter check-ins when time is limited. Online work can make it simpler to practice skills in everyday settings and to keep momentum between sessions. Discussing logistics during the first meeting will clarify which session styles will work best for ongoing care.
