Taij Johnson

Taij Johnson is a licensed counselor who centers sessions on each person's goals and strengths. He holds LPC and LCMHC credentials and brings seven years of experience working across different mental health settings. He focuses on practical change and clear steps people can use right away.

He began helping others early, first as a personal care worker and then as a high-risk intervention technician in schools. Those frontline roles led him into protective services work and eventually to a master’s degree in counseling. That path shaped a hands-on, down-to-earth approach to therapy.

In sessions he focuses on what the person needs in the moment. He uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen closely and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thoughts and behaviors that get in the way. He also draws on mindfulness and narrative techniques to help people notice patterns and tell their story differently.

Taij sees people for a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, stress, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and anger. He also supports people working through parenting strains, caregiver stress, body image concerns, ADHD, and career questions.

He aims to meet people where they are and to build practical plans for change. The work is collaborative, with clear goals and steps. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How key approaches guide online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what they say, and helps them set goals that matter in daily life. This approach is helpful for people looking for a respectful, steady place to talk through stress, grief, or life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It breaks problems into small steps and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, anger, and behaviors that interfere with work or relationships.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus. Learning to notice physical sensations and thoughts can ease stress and support better sleep and coping skills.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.

Confirm the current session options before scheduling since formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can also use practical worksheets and home practice between sessions to support steady progress.
