Trenese Johnson, LICSW, LCSW, CSW

Trenese Johnson is a licensed social worker in Georgia with 28 years of practical experience. She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, and intimacy-related issues. Her style is straightforward and supportive, helping people take small steps that add up to real change.

She believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the work. Sessions center on listening first, then building practical tools together. That may include thought-focused work, mindfulness practices, or body-centered techniques to help manage feelings and reactions.

Trenese uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy among other approaches. She blends these methods to match what a person needs in the moment. The result is a plan tailored to specific problems like depression, anger, ADHD, or coping with life changes.

Her background includes long-term practice with concerns such as trauma and abuse, parenting strain, caregiver stress, and issues related to sexuality and identity. She also addresses relationship patterns including non-monogamy, commitment concerns, infidelity, and sexual dysfunction. Trenese brings a steady presence for people navigating midlife, career shifts, or caregiving roles.

In sessions she moves at each person’s pace. Conversations are meant to uncover workable strategies, reduce overwhelming thoughts, and rebuild confidence. Her aim is practical progress that fits daily life.

How her approaches work online

Trenese commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and compulsive reactions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and shared decision making to build confidence and clarify goals.

She often pairs these with Mindfulness Therapy when attention to the body and present moment helps reduce stress and reactivity. Mindfulness practices can help with anger, grief, compulsive behaviors, and coping with life changes by teaching simple awareness skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Trenese collaborates with each person to choose methods that match goals, needs, and comfort. She may try a few techniques early on and adjust based on how they fit for you.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for more in-depth work where seeing expressions matters. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and messaging support brief check-ins, skill practice, or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a schedule and keep momentum between meetings.
