Tina Johnson , LCSW

Tina Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nine years of professional experience. She focuses on women's issues and a broad range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship problems, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, and workplace issues. Tina encourages growth through listening and practical guidance.

She uses straightforward conversation to identify what matters most to each person. Sessions emphasize building skills for managing anger, coping with life changes, and improving self-esteem. She also supports people facing guilt, shame, forgiveness struggles, and control issues.

Her approach blends several therapy styles to match each person's needs. Techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness practices and acceptance strategies support staying present and moving toward meaningful goals.

Tina values collaboration and encourages clients to take an active role. She focuses on real-life steps clients can try between sessions, such as brief exercises or small behavior changes. The work is practical and paced to what each person can handle.

Originally from San Francisco, she holds a Master of Social Work and practices in Mississippi. Clients will find an emphasis on respect, plain language, and encouragement. Tina aims to help people rebuild confidence and steady themselves during difficult transitions.

Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit your life

Tina uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and often focuses on small experiments and homework to test new ways of thinking and acting. Mindfulness Therapy is another part of her work and teaches simple attention exercises to reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is also used to help people notice difficult feelings, clarify values, and take committed steps toward what matters.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tina will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they choose techniques and pace that fit the client’s life rather than imposing a single method.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let you see body language and use screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between sessions, fit short updates into a busy day, or keep therapy going during work breaks.
