Jonnie MiddletonLotte, LPC

Jonnie MiddletonLotte is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Arkansas with 25 years of clinical experience supporting people through intense and often overlapping emotional challenges. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, grief, and the effects of trauma and abuse, offering steady guidance for those seeking recovery and renewed purpose. Her practice places emphasis on understanding each person’s story - including long-term mood concerns, addiction-related struggles, and complex trauma - and on developing practical coping skills that fit everyday life.

Jonnie has particular experience supporting military veterans and survivors of sexual assault, and she approaches those histories with sensitivity and a structured treatment plan. She also addresses related issues such as abandonment, dissociation, chronic pain and illness, and disruptive mood symptoms, tailoring interventions to the client’s needs. Using evidence-based methods alongside a compassionate, collaborative stance, she helps clients explore inner strengths, process difficult emotions, and build resilience. Jonnie aims to create meaningful pathways toward healing and growth while partnering with each person to set achievable goals and foster sustainable change.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Jonnie integrates several evidence-informed approaches to support clients in remote sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to clarify personal values that guide meaningful action - useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical skills and structured exercises, which can be effective for anxiety, depression, and some mood concerns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) offers a structured method for processing distressing memories and trauma symptoms when appropriate for the client’s history.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jonnie works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then tailors techniques so therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy with Jonnie is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow continuity of care when in-person visits are not possible, while enabling licensed professionals to deliver focused, goal-oriented treatment.
