Getting to know Kristen Johnson
My name is Kristen Johnson. I am an LCSW licensed since 2000, with a Master's in Social Work from California State University, Sacramento. I work with youth and adults who struggle with stress, depression, anxiety, trauma, relational problems, and phase of life challenges.
My approach
When working with someone, I individualize my approach to help them achieve their treatment goals. I draw from CBT, DBT, ACT, and Interpersonal Psychotherapy as my theoretical foundations.
My focus
I work with youth, adults, and the Veteran population, supporting those facing stress, depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, and phase of life difficulties.
My communication style
I am a positive and supportive therapist who can be direct when clinically necessary. It's important to me that the people I work with know that in treatment, we form a partnership so they never feel alone on their healing journey.
My journey to mental healthcare
I was drawn to therapy by a curiosity about how people manage adversity. My own experiences with adversity deepened my desire to help others find hope and feel empowered throughout their healing.
My goals for you
I directly ask clients about their treatment goals and offer guidance in setting realistic goals when needed.
My first session with you
The first session involves introductions and an overview of the treatment experience. If you decide to continue, we will discuss and establish your treatment goals.
