Getting to know Deborah Johnson

Hi there, I'm Deborah! Greetings, my name is Deborah Johnson, Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I work with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with adolescents, adults, and couples. My areas of expertise are working with depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, generalized anxiety, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, trauma-informed and focused, and co-occurring disorders. My approach I employ an eclectic approach, blending Eastern and Western philosophies. I have training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, EFT, Brain Spotting, motivational interviewing, and critical incident stress debriefing. I integrate mindfulness and other Eastern modalities to offer a holistic approach tailored to the individual client needs and/or preferences. My focus My typical client population is comprised of mood disorders, including Major Depressive Disorder and Bipolar Disorder, a spectrum of Anxiety Disorders, including Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and Panic Disorder. I also work with individuals diagnosed with Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective Disorder, and Dissociative Identity Disorder. My communication style I work to create a safe space in which a client feels heard, supported, and feels that the sessions are client-centered. Clients are invited to share as much, or as little information as they are comfortable sharing in any given session. I am soft-spoken, transparent, and love to use humor. My journey to therapy I went back to college to become an RN, but changed majors when a psychology professor suggested that clinical social work might be a natural fit for me; she was right. I have a passion for working with my clients because each comes with a unique story, one which I'm honored to share. My goals for you Goals should be client-driven, so I invite my clients to share their goals for our work together.
