LPC, 20 years of experience
I am Angelika O. Johnson, a Native of Georgia born and raised. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 15 years of clinical experience in the behavioral health field. I have provided crisis intervention services providing crucial support and care to individuals in need. I have worked in a secure Forensics facility providing quality forensic behavioral health services that empower individuals to lead a life of independence and recovery. For the last five years I have been providing Psychotherapy to help individuals experiencing a wide array of mental health conditions and emotional challenges.
During the first session I will get to know the client by asking questions about their life, background, and what brought them to therapy. The main purpose of the first session is to help you and me the therapist get to know each and to help you decide if you think the relationship will be a good fit.
I possess a flexible attitude and unconditional positive regard to ensure my clients feel safe and understood, which in turn becomes beneficial for the development of the therapeutic alliance.
I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, anger management, bipolar disorder, & depression. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you.
Angelika O. Johnson offers therapy covered by Medicaid - Peach State Health Plan and Peach State Health Plan (Managed Medicaid) in Georgia.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is one of the most common and best studied forms of psychotherapy. It is a combination of two therapeutic approaches, known as cognitive therapy and behavioral therapy. I use CBT to treat several different mental health conditions. In addition to depression or anxiety disorders.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an integrative psychotherapy approach that has been extensively researched and proven effective for the treatment of trauma. I have been trained and using EMDR to help clients uncover and process beliefs that developed as the result of relational traumas, or childhood abuse and/or neglect since 2021.
