About Trenese
Trenese Johnson is a licensed social worker with 28 years of clinical experience who supports people facing a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship conflicts, grief, intimacy-related issues, career challenges, addictions, and depression.
Background and approach
She draws on a strengths-based stance that views each person as the expert on their own life, and she helps clients marshal their existing resources to move through difficult transitions and heal from trauma and abuse.
Her practice also attends to topics such as ADHD, caregiving stress, sexual and relationship diversity, and women’s issues, among other areas of focus. Trenese uses a blend of evidence-informed approaches tailored to each individual, meeting clients where they are and emphasizing practical strategies as well as emotional processing.
She encourages the courageous first step of reaching out and offers steady support while people work toward greater fulfillment and resilience. Trenese holds LICSW, LCSW, and CSW credentials and practices in Georgia, bringing long-term experience paired with a collaborative, person-centered style.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Trenese draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people recognize and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, using practical exercises and skill-building to address anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. She also integrates Client-Centered Therapy, offering empathic listening and validation so that clients feel heard and supported while they explore goals and personal meaning. Occasionally she includes Mindfulness-based elements to help clients develop present-moment awareness and coping tools for emotions and reactivity.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process; Trenese works with each person to determine which blend of methods fits their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts methods over time as progress and circumstances evolve. This collaborative stance helps clients feel involved in shaping their care rather than following a fixed protocol.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions and to access therapeutic tools and support without geographic constraints, while allowing therapists to use CBT, client-centered listening, and mindfulness practices in ways that fit each person’s routine.
