More about Willie

  • 32 years' experience
  • Male
  • LCSW

Hello, my name is Willie Johnson, MSW, LCSW- Thank You for considering my services...

I am a licensed clinical social worker in Las Vegas, NV, with over 30 years of experience working with individuals, couples, families, groups who are dealing with anger, trauma, attachment issues, depression, anxiety, panic attacks and other mood disorders. It’s extremely important for patients to realize and distinguish the difference between their original true personality and their bodies, feelings, thoughts, and emotions. In other words, YOU ARE NOT YOUR BODY, YOU ARE NOT YOUR FEELINGS, YOU ARE NOT YOUR EMOTIONS! You are not what you feel nor think. True, you do have feelings, thoughts and emotions, but you are not them.

Within this therapeutic relationship, you will learn, recognize, and identify the secondary emotions and personalities that’s trying to manipulate, control and change your character and personality. You will also learn how to release yourself from the pain and guilt of harm done to you or the harm you have done to others or even to yourself. Our goals in therapy is not just to cope or manage these emotional concerns, but to completely get rid of and totally destroy them out of your life. Through self-reflection, therapy will help develop your capacity to be more self-aware, recognize and challenge negative thoughts and build towards a more safe and healthy life functioning.

I believe that prioritizing your mental health is an investment in self; it is an active step towards your healing journey.

"Four Stages To Your Emotional Health & Healing"

1. Love Everybody,

2. Forgive Everybody,

3. Respect Everybody &

4. Be Kind To Everybody -- Starting With Yourself.

I look forward to working with you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Willie Johnson has helped me unleash new strengths that I had the whole time but didn’t know how to apply them in my day to day life. This other side feels so real, new mindset and perception .Never been so easy to deal and cope with different experiences . Happiness has to start from within before extending it without… beautiful journey. So encouraged, Willie speaks to you like a baby and breaks down every single word until it makes meaning, from how he elaborates and keenly listens. I greatly recommend him

Willie Johnson is an amazing therapist. He diagnosed the root cause of my issues and worked patiently with me in not only renewing my mind, but also growing more in my faith. He is a solid man of God and if you’re looking to grow in your love for God, he is the best therapist to have! He set me on a good path that can continue on my own, but I’m choosing continue sessions with him for a little bit because each conversation brings revival to my entire being: soul, body and spirit. If you are a non-christian, don’t worry! Brother Willie will meet you were you are and get you were you want to be in no time. I have much love for him and I pray that God grants him longevity to continue these good works—because many people need to hear his healing counsel fuelled up by the living Words of God!
