Tiawna Johnson , LPC

Tiawna Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with three years of clinical experience. She centers her work on listening closely to each person's story and helping them use their strengths to move forward. She emphasizes respect and steady support while people make difficult changes in their lives.

Her practice addresses stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma and abuse. She also helps people dealing with relationship and intimacy-related issues, self-esteem challenges, and complications tied to mood disorders and bipolar disorder. Tiawna works with concerns tied to LGBT identity and offers focused support around women’s issues.

She draws on client-centered methods to make therapy feel collaborative and solution-focused techniques to set clear, attainable goals. Trauma-focused work is used when past events are affecting daily life and need careful attention. Sessions are aimed at practical steps that can be repeated between meetings.

Tiawna also pays attention to attachment issues, dissociation, personality and mood disorders, and post-traumatic stress. She is comfortable discussing alternative sexual cultures such as BDSM and non-monogamous relationship dynamics, and she can address compassion fatigue and addiction concerns with a practical orientation.

Appointments are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. English-language services are provided and she practices within Missouri. The approach is straightforward and paced to each person’s needs.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. In online sessions this means the therapist reflects what she hears, helps you name priorities, and follows your lead on pace and direction. It works well for people who want a supportive space to sort through feelings and decisions.

Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, practical steps and specific goals. Online meetings can be used to set short-term tasks, check progress, and adjust plans between sessions. This approach can help when someone wants tangible changes they can try right away.

Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past events continue to affect daily life. In remote sessions the work moves carefully, focusing on stabilizing skills and processing in ways that match the client's readiness. This can benefit people coping with post-traumatic stress, dissociation, or other trauma reactions.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they choose methods to try and make adjustments as needed based on how the work progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you maintain eye contact and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can fit into a shorter break or work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, real-time problem-solving, or ongoing written reflection between appointments.
