Latina JohnsonLCSW

Latina Johnson is a licensed clinical social worker in Michigan with six years of practice experience. She focuses on helping people who are coping with addictions, sleep problems, mood concerns, and big life changes. Latina aims to make beginning therapy feel manageable and respectful of each person's effort to reach out.

Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. Sessions are a place to talk through what feels most urgent, practice new ways to handle stress, and build confidence in everyday choices. She uses methods that help people notice patterns, manage strong emotions, and improve relationships with themselves and others.

Clients often work on skills for stress and anxiety, tools to improve sleep and routines, and strategies to reduce substance use or urges. She also supports people facing feelings of emptiness, guilt, or grief. The work includes small practice tasks between sessions and clear steps to measure progress.

Latina centers the person in the room and listens without judgment. She adapts techniques from several therapy styles to match what each person needs. This can mean slowing down to focus on emotional connection, or using specific skills to manage intense feelings.

If you are worried about starting therapy during pregnancy or the postpartum period, this clinician notes an interest in pregnancy and childbirth concerns. She encourages people to take the first step and will work with you to set realistic goals and next steps.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes safety in relationships and helps people notice how past bonds affect present reactions; it can be useful for improving trust and reducing patterns of isolation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering clear tools for anxiety, sleep problems, and mood management. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and work through strong emotions so they can feel more connected to themselves and others.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences and then choose or blend methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and can change as needs shift over time.

The therapist’s profile does not specify which session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, cut travel time, and choose shorter check-ins when that helps. It also allows the therapist to use worksheets, skill practices, and in-session coaching that translate well to remote work, helping clients build routines and coping tools they can use between meetings.
