Taij Johnson , LPC, LCMHC

Taij Johnson brings seven years of clinical experience to his counseling work, guided by a long history of hands-on roles in mental health that began in high school. He has supported people in group homes and assisted living as a personal care worker, stepped into schools as a high-risk intervention technician, and served families as a Protective Services social worker. Those front-line experiences shaped his decision to pursue advanced training and earn a master of arts in Counseling, followed by full licensure as a mental health counselor.

He holds credentials as an LPC and an LCMHC - Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor - and draws on a client-centered style that prioritizes each person s perspective. His work integrates cognitive-behavioral techniques, trauma-informed approaches, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative exploration to address issues such as relationships, trauma and abuse, grief, anxiety, parenting challenges, mood disorders, and identity-related concerns. Taij meets clients where they are, tailoring interventions to practical goals and helping people build skills to cope, connect, and move toward greater wellbeing.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Taij Johnson

Taij Johnson uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client s priorities guide the work. This approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration so clients can identify goals and move at their own pace.

He also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, mood concerns, and stress. CBT focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors that contribute to distress and building coping strategies that produce measurable results.

Mindfulness therapy is offered to cultivate present-moment awareness and reduce emotional reactivity. Practices from mindfulness can support regulation, improve focus, and complement other therapeutic techniques for trauma, grief, and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Taij works with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexible options that fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access care from home or while traveling and allow therapists and clients to maintain continuity of support regardless of location.
