Desiree Johnson

Desiree Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, and the fallout from trauma and abuse. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, anger, self-esteem struggles, and concerns related to narcissism and communication problems.

Desiree uses straightforward, practical work in sessions. She focuses on identifying what you need and setting reachable goals. Sessions are interactive and pull from a mix of methods to fit each person’s situation.

Her background includes work in marriage and family therapy settings and experience with a range of psychiatric diagnoses. She has four years of clinical experience working with adults across different life stages.

In therapy she blends attachment-focused ideas with solution-focused techniques. That means she pays attention to how relationships shape feelings while also helping you find concrete next steps to feel better. She combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and other approaches when they seem helpful.

People meet her and work on skills for coping with life changes, building self-love, repairing communication, and setting boundaries. Desiree emphasizes collaboration and practical tools so progress can show up between sessions.

If you want to begin, she asks you to complete a short questionnaire to match with her and then schedule a time that fits your needs.

How her approaches guide online therapy

Desiree draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to shape her work online. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match your values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens closely and supports your own problem solving.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to help identify unhelpful thought patterns and try out different behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns because it breaks problems into manageable steps and skill practice.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Desiree works together with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. That collaborative planning helps set clear short-term goals and practical exercises to use between sessions.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how she is meeting with clients. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for consistent weekly work even when schedules are tight. Different session ways can also let conversations be shorter check-ins or longer deep work depending on what a person needs.
