Johnny White, LCSW

Psychotherapist
IL
Hello, I am Johnny White, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Illinois Chicago. My approach to therapy includes Positive Psychology, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Spirituality. I focus on building and identifying strengths in individuals, believing in self-empowerment and self-problem-solving in counseling. My approach Positive Psychology is linked to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to redirect thinking, regulate emotions, and behavior. Spirituality is used when the person is open to it as a power source to overcome obstacles and avoid self-defeating perceptions and thinking. My focus I work with adult individual clients experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, loss, and substance abuse. I also work with adult couples struggling in relationships, including infidelity, separation, and custody issues. My communication style Initially, I ask about background—work, relationships, children, family structure, and education. I inquire about depression, anxiety, and substance abuse. I then listen closely to what is said and unsaid, avoiding inference or opinions initially. The goal is to connect and help the patient feel comfortable. My journey to mental healthcare I believe everyone is given a path in life; mine has been Social Work. I have a broad and varied life experience and have worked in many Social Work fields. I bring a wealth of lessons and experiences to counseling. Being a therapist is the culmination of my life’s work and the fulfillment of the path God gave me. My goals for you I ask patients what their goals are in counseling and what they want to improve. I then map out a plan. Whether it is lowering anxiety, improving a relationship, or managing job stress, I ask patients what they seek in therapy.
