Desiree Johnson

Desiree Johnson is an LPC who helps people navigating stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and relationship struggles. She works with those facing life changes, parenting strain, grief, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She encourages practical steps and clear goals so people can notice change between sessions.

Desiree describes therapy as a journey where she acts as a guide while clients set the pace. Sessions focus on identifying needs and building strategies that fit each person’s life. She combines attention to attachment patterns with goal-focused work to make sessions feel useful and interactive.

Her style brings together multiple approaches rather than one fixed method. Expect conversations that look at thoughts and behaviors, explore emotions in relationships, and practice skills to manage difficult moments. She aims to mix techniques so people can try what works best for them.

Desiree has four years of clinical experience and holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential. She has worked with a range of psychiatric presentations and with many age groups during that time. That background informs how she helps people find practical next steps.

People who reach out start with small steps. Desiree invites clients to set clear goals and take manageable actions between sessions. She acknowledges the courage it takes to ask for help and aims to make the process straightforward and respectful.

How approaches like ACT, CBT, and EFT work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and practice small actions that match those values while learning to sit with difficult feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and frustration linked to life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with behavioral experiments and new routines to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, looks at emotions and patterns within close relationships to improve connection and communication.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Desiree works together with each person to decide which methods make sense based on goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past. She often blends techniques so the work fits real life rather than sticking to a single label.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy days - they can reduce travel time, allow for quicker check-ins, and make it easier to attend during a work break or between errands. Online work also lets a therapist and client practice skills in the settings where problems often appear, then adjust them in later sessions.
