Getting to know Kelsey Johnson
I believe a trusting, authentic relationship is key to the therapeutic process. Whether you're new to therapy or just looking for a new approach, we can work together to help you feel grounded and connected. My clients value having a space where they can talk honestly and work through problems without judgment. I strive to make all clients feel welcomed and affirmed, particularly in my work with LGBTQIA+ clients and others who may experience identity-based discrimination. Regardless of where you're coming from, my role is to help you make sense of what you’re going through so you can find more stability, clarity, and relief.
I specialize in work with depression, anxiety, and trauma, treating the full range of symptom levels from mild to severe. I am especially passionate about supporting clients stuck in painful cycles with concerns like stress, family/relationship issues, and substance use. My approach is holistic, collaborative, and focused on your goals and preferred pace.
I use several evidence-based approaches depending on your needs. These include EMDR (to process trauma), CBT (to understand and shift unhelpful thought patterns), DBT (to build skills for emotion regulation and relationships), and mindfulness-based strategies (to support awareness, grounding, and stress reduction). Together, we'll find the approaches that best support your goals and comfort level.
I provide virtual sessions through secure teletherapy, which allows for more flexibility and comfort while still maintaining a strong therapeutic connection. If you're ready to start therapy or just exploring your options, I’d be glad to connect and see if we’re a good fit.
