Getting to know Sherlyn Johnson

Hi there, I'm Sherlyn Johnson, LCSW. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Southern California. My therapeutic approach focuses on changing problematic behaviors, feelings, and thoughts by discovering their unconscious meanings and motivations. Patients learn about themselves by exploring their interactions in the therapeutic relationship. My most common theoretical approaches are psychodynamic therapy, behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, and cognitive therapy. I primarily work with clients ranging from teenagers through late adulthood. My communication style centers on active listening and the thoughtful use of silence. I have always been passionate about helping others and enjoy deepening my understanding of human behavior while supporting personal growth. During the therapeutic process, clients explore how the human mind can function in wholeness while learning to make meaningful changes in their lives. My goals for you involve using motivational interviewing and SMART goals to guide progress. In our first session, I focus on building rapport by getting to know you through questions about your history, including childhood, education, relationships (family, romantic, friends), current living situation, and career path.
