Jeanni Johnson-Green , LICSW, LCSW

Jeanni Johnson-Green is a licensed clinical social worker who uses a collaborative, down-to-earth style in therapy. She brings 15 years of practice to sessions and speaks plainly with people who are feeling stuck, anxious, or overwhelmed. Jeanni holds an MSSW from Columbia University and holds both MN LICSW and NY LCSW credentials.

She centers her work on what each person wants to change. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps instead of jargon. People often come to her for stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or relationship concerns. She also helps with intimacy issues, self-esteem, bipolar mood challenges, and coping with life changes.

Her approach blends client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and emotionally-focused work. That means clients get space to be heard along with techniques for shifting thoughts and improving emotional bonds. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing also inform shorter-term goals and coping skills.

Jeanni has experience in acute care settings, which shaped how she responds in moments of high stress. She aims to be warm, attentive, and encouraging while staying practical. Sessions may include exercises, homework, and clear next steps to try between meetings.

She works with people facing multicultural concerns, prejudice and discrimination, workplace stress, and the challenges many women describe. Jeanni also supports young adults navigating transitions and people dealing with isolation or life purpose questions. Her style is straightforward and compassionate to help clients move forward.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Jeanni commonly combines client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening with empathy and helping clients set their own goals, which can be especially useful when sorting through relationship or life-purpose questions. Cognitive behavioral therapy offers concrete techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which helps with anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jeanni will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together decide which methods to emphasize. That collaborative decision helps tailor sessions to what the client needs right now.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, homework review, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or other commitments and to continue momentum between appointments.
