Getting to know Mirna Johnson
My name is Mirna Johnson. I am a Mexican American, Army Veteran, and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT). I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Argosy University. I have experience helping individuals and families navigate difficult times. My unique background and cultural sensitivity allow me to connect with clients on a deeper level. I am passionate about empowering people to find healing and restoration in their relationships.
My approach
My therapeutic approach combines psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), offering a holistic framework for emotional concerns. Drawing from psychodynamic principles, I explore the roots of current issues, past experiences, and unconscious processes to unearth patterns influencing present behaviors and emotions. This understanding forms the foundation for our work. Simultaneously, I integrate practical CBT strategies, focusing on present thoughts, behaviors, and actions to identify and modify negative thought patterns, replacing them with healthier responses. By merging these approaches, I provide a supportive space for self-exploration while equipping clients with tangible tools and coping mechanisms to navigate challenges effectively.
My focus
I empower individuals, couples, and families to foster healthy relationships, overcome challenges, and cultivate resilience. I tailor counseling sessions to strengthen relationships, heal emotional wounds, and build trust and understanding. Together, let’s navigate life’s complexities and pave the way for lasting happiness and harmony.
My communication style
In my therapeutic space, you will find a warm, welcoming environment where empathy, trust, and confidentiality thrive. I create a safe haven, offering a compassionate, non-judgmental atmosphere for clients to explore their emotions and challenges. Working with me feels like having a supportive guide by your side—someone who listens deeply.

Our marriage was at a very difficult place. We had fallen into destructive communication patterns, including the “Four Horsemen.” We were speaking different languages & we weren’t sure if we could find our way back to each other. She never took sides or made either of us feel judged. She created a safe space where we could both be heard while challenging us to grow. She gave us practical, effective tools to communicate, manage conflict in healthier ways, & connection. She is AWESOME!

For the most part she helped me with my issues and I am grateful for those sessions. However, there were two visits where my sessions were more about her and her family. I was disappointed and stopped going.
