Dr. Johnson has been hands down one of the best if not the best therapist I have ever had. She has a real genuine connection with her patients that is hard to replicate and make you know that she truly cares. Going though a hard time with grief and life stress was made so much easier talking with her. She has such a calm and knowledgeable personality that is perfect for helping you through whatever goals you have to achieve in your therapy journey. Beyond that, she is just an amazing person and I cannot say enough great things about her. I am very grateful for her and all she has done to help me. Would 10/10, hands-down recommend Dr Johnson. The best!!!!

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.

She is incredible. I am grateful for her help.
Doctor Johnson is phenomenal. She has the perfect balance of compassion as well as solutions. She clearly uses the methods she teaches in her own life, and she wants to empower her patients to identify and understand their particular circumstances. It feels like I’m talking to an aunt or a cousin, a supportive person who wants the best for you. She is so easy to talk to, and I’m so grateful for her!
