Dr. Cicely Johnson
Are you struggling with a life change? Are you feeling stuck and needing a helping hand to move things forward? As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker(LCSW), I take pride in working with people towards wellness. As life challenges can contribute to anxiety and depression, you need to know that you are not alone.
My biggest strengths are listening with an open mind and focusing on the whole person rather than the parts the client seeks to change.
Emotional wellness is a part of everyone's life, and we all may benefit from help from time to time.
First session
In our first session, I will listen to you unpack why you seek change while sharing how my approach and background might help you achieve your goals. This will help lay the foundation for our work together to create a plan for relief and wellness.
Strengths
Providers can only truly help by having an ongoing desire to understand the people they serve. My biggest strengths are listening with an open mind and focusing on the whole person rather than the parts the client seeks to change. I provide non-judgemental, trauma-informed, culturally affirming therapy. I am committed to helping others become the best versions of themselves. Together, we make change!
Ideal clients
My clinical expertise includes working with depression, anxiety, and adjustment-related concerns. I use cognitive behavior therapy(CBT), dialectical behavior therapy(DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing(EMDR) with people searching for understanding, wellness, and relief.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have extensive experience using Cognitive Behavior Therapy(CBT). to help individuals and groups find relief from the debilitating features that depression and anxiety can bring.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy has helped our clients with the tools they need to achieve balance, wellness, and, most importantly, acceptance.

My training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy helps clients at my practice find additional resources to support emotional regulation.
