With 27 years of experience in behavioral health and 18 years in psychotherapy practice, I am a highly skilled psychotherapist dedicated to offering comprehensive and compassionate care to individuals and couples seeking psychotherapy and counseling services. My expertise spans a wide array of mental health challenges, including depression, anxiety, stress management, and mood disorders. I employ a variety of evidence-based treatment methods, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT).
In my practice, I specialize in treating complex issues such as addiction, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, trauma recovery, and personality disorders. I also address relationship issues including intimacy challenges, infidelity, relationship dysfunction, communication problems, and marital conflicts. My expertise in sex therapy enables me to effectively treat sexual dysfunction, sexual addiction, and porn addiction.
I am committed to providing culturally sensitive therapy, speaking Tamil and Malayalam, and understanding Hindi and Oriya, which allows me to connect deeply with clients from diverse backgrounds, particularly within Asian and Indian communities. My experience also includes Christian counseling and working with clients from various religious backgrounds, ensuring a holistic approach to mental and emotional well-being. Additionally, I offer specialized therapy for LGBTQ clients, addressing issues related to questioning, coming out, and navigating the unique challenges faced by the LGBTQ community.
I utilize a diverse range of therapeutic techniques, including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Narrative Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, to tailor treatment plans that meet the unique needs of each client. Whether you’re seeking help for mental health disorders, relationship issues, or sexual health concerns, I am here to guide you on your journey towards a healthier, more fulfilling life.

My name is Brytni Johnson. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) born and raised in Texas (always in and around "DFW”). I have been working with people: moms and dads; sons and daughters; brothers and sisters; even grandparents for as long as I can remember. I realized just over 12 years ago, I wanted to "help people." I wanted to become educated and trained; learn how to better explore and accentuate my natural skills, while also being able to understand and develop new skills to best assist my clients.
In 2012, I graduated with my Bachelor of Social Work. In 2016, I graduated with my Master of Social Work. Shortly after graduating, I obtained my LMSW licensure, and have been practicing in a licensed, professional environment for the past 7 years. After obtaining my license, it was then, my "toolbelt" (yes, toolbelt) gained its first tool. From there, I began working towards building my clinical knowledge in order to obtain my clinical license as a social worker. I obtained my LCSW licensure June 2022; shortly after completing over 3,000 clock hours and over 100 clinical supervision hours.

Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor enjoying what I do. I have been helping people improve their lives for over seven years. I help couples and individuals to navigate different challenges involving romantic, familial and other interpersonal relationship dynamics. I’ve been using CBT in my practice for the past five years. It’s helped so many of clients challenge reoccurring thoughts and manage their anxiety. We’ll use CBT to recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other that keep you in unhealthy cycles.
