Getting to know Katherine Johnson

Hello! I’m Katherine “Katie” Johnson, an LMSW-C providing telehealth psychotherapy across Michigan. I specialize in working with neurodivergent individuals, including those with Autism, ADHD, and Intellectual Disabilities, as well as people with physical disabilities. I also specialize in working with children as a former school social worker. I have experience with school challenges, home challenges, behavioral challenges and anxiety and depression. My work is rooted in neurodiversity-affirming care, which means I support clients in understanding and embracing their unique ways of thinking and experiencing the world.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My therapy style is collaborative, supportive, and creative. I often incorporate clients’ special interests, play-based principles, bibliotherapy, puppets, and traditional talk therapy. I also draw from approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and DBT principles. I make sure every client has a coping skill "tool box" to help with everyday stressors Trying a new therapist can be scary, my main principles are to respect the client, try to understand and to be caring. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, respected, and supported. If you’re looking for neurodiversity-affirming therapy, family therapy, or therapy for children, I invite you to reach out and see if we might be a good fit.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I work with clients who are neurodivergent and struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and accepting their disability. I also work with clients who are children and may be struggling at home or in school, and their parents who may need help with behaviors or routines. Treatment plans are written for you to help you reach your goals. My clients leave with skills that can leave an impact.
