About Joni Pearce, LMFT

With over 20 years of clinical experience as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Joni Pearce brings a rich, multifaceted background spanning private practice, healthcare environments, and school systems. This diverse experience allows her to support clients through a wide range of life transitions, relational challenges, and complex family dynamics with exceptional depth and perspective.

Joni approaches therapy through a systemic, relationally focused lens, recognizing that individuals are deeply influenced by their environments, relationships, and life histories. Her practice is grounded in a trauma-informed, strengths-based framework that integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused techniques. This balanced approach helps clients gain meaningful insight into longstanding patterns while cultivating practical, forward-moving strategies for lasting resilience.

Known for her collaborative and grounded clinical style, Joni creates a structured, compassionate environment where clients feel genuinely supported. She is dedicated to partnering with individuals (age 12+), couples, and families as they navigate life’s complexities, heal relationships, and achieve meaningful personal growth.
