Jessica Johnson
I’m Jessica Johnson, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and Licensed Independent Chemical Dependency Counselor for over a decade. I will help you sift through thoughts, feelings, and experiences to improve your well-being. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing techniques, but incorporate other therapies as needed for each client I support. As a solution-focused therapist, I will encourage you in embracing the best path forward and provide a trusting environment as you do so. I also enjoy nature, animals, hiking, traveling, reading, and spending time with family.
First session
Sometimes we find ourselves stuck, hurting, or simply need something to change. You don’t have to navigate those moments alone. Reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable. You may not know exactly what to say, where to start, or even whether therapy is right for you. That’s okay. Our client-counselor relationship is critical as a foundation and my strengths in empathy, authenticity, and respect will support us as we begin working together. In our first session together, I hope to understand what brought you to therapy, identify and settle on initial goals, and answer questions you may have. I ask for your honesty and transparency so we can be most effective as we begin our time together.
Strengths
Our client-counselor relationship is foundational. My strengths in empathy, authenticity, and respect will support us as we begin working together. As a solution-focused therapist, I will encourage you in embracing the best path forward and provide a trusting environment as you do so.
Ideal clients
As an LPCC and LICDC, I serve all mental health and substance use diagnoses, however, I am best positioned to serve adult clients with anxiety, depression, substance use disorders, relationship stressors, work-life-balance concerns, and difficulties navigating life events. Clients will need to be interested in engaging in therapy, willing to develop and work toward goals, and be respectful of our time together.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is a foundational therapy I use with most clients. I believe strongly that our thoughts often contribute to our behaviors. If we find ways to improve our thinking, our emotions and behaviors will improve as well.
Motivational Interviewing
It is imperative that we are willing to explore change when in therapy. Motivational Interviewing is an approach with techniques rooted in change management.
