Jenny Johnson, LPC

Jenny Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor working in Colorado. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, trauma, and painful life changes. Her style is warm and conversational, and she aims to meet each person where they are. Jenny spends time listening first so she can understand how a person experiences a problem. Together they identify patterns in thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and behaviors. Jenny uses practical tools to help people move from feeling stuck toward clearer choices and better day-to-day functioning. Many clients seek her help for substance use concerns or for the strain that a loved one’s addiction creates. She also supports people coping with grief, relationship strain, low self-esteem, anger, and mood shifts. She pays attention to how past hurts and current pressures connect to present behavior. Her approach blends cognitive behavioral ideas with acceptance-based strategies, mindfulness, and a client-centered way of working. Sessions are conversational and focused on real-life skills that can be used between appointments. She emphasizes short, doable practices as well as longer-term shifts in perspective. Jenny brings eight years of experience to her practice as an LPC. She seeks to treat people with dignity and respect while helping them build manageable plans for change. Many who work with her are looking for clear steps, steady support, and a nonjudgmental space to figure things out.

How cognitive and acceptance approaches translate online

Jenny often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try small behavioral experiments that change how they feel. CBT focuses on practical steps you can use between sessions to reduce worry, manage mood swings, or handle cravings.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to clarify what matters most so actions match values. ACT can be useful for coping with long-term stress, trauma impacts, and difficult emotions.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, life demands, and what methods feel most usable, then tailor tools from CBT, ACT, and client-centered work to fit. This collaborative process helps shape a plan that matches current needs and preferences.

Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone works with lower bandwidth or when hands-free time helps, live chat is suited for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options give flexibility for different schedules and communication styles.
