Christen Johnson , LPC

Christen Johnson is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She speaks plainly and offers steady support for those ready to make a change. Christen works from Louisiana and brings 12 years of counseling experience to her sessions.

She focuses on practical ways to reduce overwhelming feelings and rebuild confidence. In sessions she listens first, then tailors conversation and exercises to fit each person's situation. Topics often include attachment concerns, abandonment fears, communication problems, and coping after divorce or separation.

Christen also supports people managing chronic illness or pain, caregiver stress, and the fallout from natural or human-caused disasters. She addresses substance use concerns, domestic violence impacts, and the emotional work around forgiveness, guilt, or shame. Sessions can include skill-building to manage impulsivity and to repair trust after infidelity.

Her approach draws from client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and motivational interviewing. That mix helps people identify values, change unhelpful patterns, and practice new behaviors between sessions.

Christen aims for clear, respectful dialogue and individualized care. She invites people to take the first step and will collaborate on a plan that fits their goals and daily life.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT focuses on identifying personal values and taking small committed actions that match those values, which can help when anxiety or depression make decisions feel impossible. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve communication. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy so clients feel heard while they decide what changes matter most.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Christen will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as progress is made. The therapist helps clients weigh options and picks techniques that match daily routines and needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make counseling more flexible. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversation and exercises, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be used for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflections between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
