Hi, I’m Johanna—a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with a passion for helping people feel seen, heard, and empowered in their healing journey. I bring years of experience working with adults dealing with trauma, anxiety, burnout, depression, life transitions, and emotional disconnection. I work with clients from diverse backgrounds and tailor therapy to meet each person where they are.
I’ve completed advanced training in trauma-informed care, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based approaches. I draw from these evidence-based methods while staying flexible and responsive to your individual needs.
My style is compassionate, collaborative, and down-to-earth. I don’t believe therapy should be intimidating or one-size-fits-all. Instead, I create a space where you can safely explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences—without judgment. Whether you’re navigating a major life change, processing past trauma, or simply seeking clarity, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
Together, we’ll work toward deeper insight, healthier coping, and a stronger connection to what matters most to you. You don’t have to go through this alone.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
