Jonnie MiddletonLotte

Jonnie MiddletonLotte is an Arkansas Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, grief, trauma, and related challenges. Jonnie also helps individuals who are questioning life purpose or coping with addiction and relationship separations.

She uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage symptoms and make steady changes. Sessions focus on developing coping skills, learning ways to interrupt unhelpful thoughts, and practicing new behaviors in day-to-day life. EMDR is part of her toolbox for people recovering from traumatic memories.

Jonnie has substantial experience supporting military veterans and survivors of sexual assault. That work has included helping people process past events, reduce distressing reactions, and rebuild a sense of direction after major disruptions.

Her style combines client-centered listening with behavioral tools such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used when values-based decision making and committed action suit a person’s goals.

People can expect clear, concrete goals and steps in sessions. Jonnie emphasizes practical strategies that can be tried between meetings. The aim is steady progress on things that matter, including finding or refining life purpose and restoring day-to-day functioning.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and align actions with what matters to them. It is useful when someone is trying to clarify life purpose or make value-based choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking that maintain distress and teaching practical skills to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) provides a structured way to work with traumatic memories and the reactions they cause, supporting reduction of trauma-related symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean starting with CBT skills, adding ACT techniques for values-based goals, or using EMDR when trauma processing is appropriate.

The therapist's biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to schedule appointments around work or caregiving, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist about practical arrangements so sessions can fit into everyday life and routine without assuming a particular format.
