Getting to know Sophia Johnson

My approach to therapy is solution-focused; however, working on past traumas may precede initial interventions. My areas of specialization are Alcohol Dependency, Substance Dependency, and the mood disorders, including Depression and Anxiety, as well as PTSD and Panic. CA License# 22563. My approach I utilize the following evidence-based interventions generally, and sometimes use multiple techniques that best serve my client: Cognitive behavioral, Motivational, Solution-focused, Psychodynamic, Humanistic, Intrapersonal, and Supportive Therapy. My focus I primarily work with adults and have worked with clients who have early trauma that is still affecting their lives today, whether it be anxiety, depression, or anger management as a result of the early traumas. I also work with alcohol and substance dependency, supporting therapy along with 12-step a rational emotive therapy-based treatment. I worked 21 years in the prison system in California, and the last 10 in telehealth treatment. I have also worked with Personality disorders and utilize DBT techniques with some My communication style My communication style is direct and honest, expressing thoughts and interventions while respecting the rights and beliefs of others. I am clear, explicit, and straightforward. I do provide direct feedback while always observing the client's feelings. My goal is to foster clarity, empower the client, and avoid ambiguity, which I hope creates a secure and trusting environment for my clients My journey to mental healthcare My first career was as a Flight Attendant with American Airlines, which I did for 8 years. I decided to return to college in my late 20s. I enjoyed working with people and enjoyed my undergraduate Psychology classes so much that I decided to complete my PhD program after being encouraged by a colleague to get the doctoral degree. I enjoyed my undergraduate and graduate studies, and this is a short version of my journey.
