About Tina

Tina Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Mississippi who focuses on a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, LGBT issues, parenting, anger, self esteem, career worries, depression, and coping with life changes.

Background and approach

She also addresses compassion fatigue and related areas such as control issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, self-love, women's issues, and workplace difficulties. With nine years of experience, she centers her work on helping clients develop practical tools and clearer perspectives to navigate difficult circumstances.

Her approach blends evidence-informed methods with a respectful, client-centered stance. Tina uses techniques drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness practices, and motivational strategies to help clients change unhelpful patterns, build coping skills, and increase emotional awareness.

She emphasizes active listening, encouragement, and empowering clients to pursue self-determination while fostering skills for long-term wellbeing. Clients can expect a collaborative process that balances skill-building with compassionate support.

Tina aims to create a supportive space where practical strategies and personal values guide progress, and she works with each person to identify goals and pathways that fit their life circumstances.

Approaches and Online Support for Practical Change

CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaching concrete skills to change them; it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and accept difficult emotions while committing to meaningful actions, which can be helpful for managing distress and building a purposeful life. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration, creating space for clients to explore their experiences and grow at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively to determine which methods best match each person's needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining elements of CBT, ACT, and client-centered care so that treatment feels both practical and personally relevant.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or when in-person visits are impractical. These formats allow for flexible scheduling and ongoing support, and they let licensed professionals deliver consistent care that focuses on skills, insight, and measurable progress.
