Kelli Johnson , LCMHC, LPC

Kelli Johnson is a licensed counselor based in Sheridan, Wyoming, holding the credentials LCMHC and LPC - state counseling licenses that authorize clinical practice. With eight years of clinical experience, she focuses on helping people navigate depression, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, relationship and family challenges, addictions, parenting concerns, and the many stresses that accompany life transitions.

Kelli uses an integrative, client-centered approach and adapts her methods to each individual. She draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-focused work, mindfulness and breath practices, somatic body-based techniques influenced by her training as a yoga teacher, narrative methods that explore meaning in one’s life story, and bibliotherapy for clients who engage with reading as part of healing. Her style blends practical tools and reflective exploration so each person can find what supports them best.

She approaches counseling as a collaborative process that honors the client as the expert on their own experience. Through professional training, focused clinical work over eight years, and lived experience, Kelli offers frameworks and skills intended to strengthen resilience, soothe difficult states, clarify values and goals, and support intentional forward movement grounded in empathy, respect, and authenticity.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Kelli Johnson integrates several evidence-informed approaches to support emotional growth and coping. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy examines patterns of relating formed in early relationships and helps people improve intimacy, communication, and emotional safety in current relationships. Mindfulness-based practices cultivate present-moment awareness through breath and body work, offering tools to reduce reactivity and improve stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kelli treats the client and therapist as collaborators and will work together with each person to identify the methods that best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate schedules, mobility, and geographic distance. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access therapeutic support in ways that align with everyday life and responsibilities.
