About Tiniece

Tiniece Johnson is a Michigan-licensed LMSW with 12 years of clinical practice supporting people through a wide range of life challenges.

Background and approach

She draws on a variety of therapy methods, including cognitive behavioral therapy, to help clients address concerns such as trauma and abuse, grief and loss, parenting stress, anxiety, mood disorders, relationship and intimacy issues, addictive behaviors, and coping with major life changes.

Her background also includes work with adoption and foster care, multicultural concerns, OCD and related obsessions and compulsions, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and other complex presentations. Johnson emphasizes creating a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where clients can name difficult thoughts and emotions and explore practical steps forward.

She blends structured approaches with empathic listening to tailor sessions to each person’s needs, aiming to identify patterns that contribute to distress and to build concrete skills for managing symptoms and improving daily functioning.

Prospective clients are encouraged that seeking help is a meaningful first step, and scheduling begins by completing an initial matching questionnaire and arranging sessions based on her availability.

Approaches and Online Care Together



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps clients identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and learn practical strategies to shift them; it is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating difficulties, and coping with stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes values-driven action and teaches skills for noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, which can be useful for trauma responses, grief, and persistent worry.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss different methods, gather information about goals and preferences, and adjust techniques over time so the chosen approach fits the client’s needs rather than imposing a single model.

Online therapy offers flexibility by allowing sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity when life circumstances change, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for each person. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver skill-building, emotion-focused work, and practical strategies in ways that meet a client's routine and access needs.
