Latina Johnson, LCSW

Latina Johnson is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Michigan. She has six years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, and sleep problems. Latina focuses on creating a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can speak plainly about what they are facing.

She uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage hard moments and rebuild daily routines. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her work, offering clear tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on client-centered and attachment-informed ideas to keep the client's voice central in sessions.

Latina helps people cope with life transitions and caregiver strain by breaking big problems into manageable steps. She often works on sleep habits, coping skills for stress, and strategies for handling cravings or relapse risks. Conversations are down-to-earth and focused on what clients can try between sessions.

People bring a wide range of concerns, including issues with self-esteem, parenting stress, grief over abandonment, family conflict, and painful feelings like guilt or shame. She also addresses challenges such as hoarding, isolation, and the emotional effects of domestic violence and HIV/AIDS.

Her approach emphasizes collaboration and steady progress. She checks in on small wins and adjusts plans when needed. Clients can expect practical homework, clear goals, and an approachable, steady guide through change.

How her approaches translate to online care

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on noticing patterns of thought and behavior and practicing different ways of reacting. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep troubles, and habits tied to addictions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current emotions and trust, and it can help with feelings of abandonment, loneliness, and family conflict.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, and she will adjust the plan as progress is tracked. Clients help set priorities and test what works in their daily life rather than following a fixed script.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for full conversations and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in, and chat or messaging can support quick updates or weekly problem-solving. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to practice skills between meetings.
