Taij Johnson , LPC, LCMHC

Taij Johnson brings seven years of hands-on experience in mental health, beginning with entry-level work while still in high school. He has supported people in group home and assisted living settings as a personal care worker and served as a high-risk intervention technician within school environments, building a practical foundation in crisis response and daily care.

After college he continued his commitment to serving diverse populations as a Protective Services Social Worker, work that informed his decision to pursue advanced training. He earned a Master of Arts in Counseling and later became a fully licensed clinical counselor. He holds the credentials LPC and LCMHC - Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor - reflecting advanced graduate training and state licensure.

His practice is grounded in a client-centered orientation, and he draws from a range of therapeutic methods including cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, trauma-focused, solution-focused, humanistic, and rational-emotive approaches. He strives to meet people where they are, tailoring care to address immediate needs while supporting longer-term growth. Taij aims to help individuals reduce distress, build coping skills, and move toward greater peace and potential in their lives.

Approaches and Support Through Online Therapy

Taij Johnson integrates client-centered therapy into his online practice, focusing on respect, empathy, and collaboration so that each person feels heard and involved in their care. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - or CBT - is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Mindfulness therapy helps people develop present-moment awareness and nonjudgmental attention to thoughts and feelings, which can support emotional regulation and coping with trauma or persistent worry.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Taij works with individuals to understand their goals, preferences, and life context, and together they determine which methods to prioritize and how to adapt them over time. This partnership helps tailor sessions to what is most useful for the person in front of him.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules, manage transportation constraints, and maintain continuity of support across locations. Licensed professionals can provide the same thoughtful planning and therapeutic techniques through these formats, allowing therapy to be both accessible and effective.
