About Jeanni

Jeanni Johnson-Green is a licensed social worker who brings 15 years of clinical experience to therapy. She uses a warm, attentive style and focuses on practical steps parents and adults can use to manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and life changes. Jeanni holds a Master of Science in Social Work from Columbia University and maintains licenses as LICSW and LCSW.

She works from a collaborative perspective and aims to make sessions straightforward and useful.

Background and approach

In sessions she listens without judgment and helps people clarify what they want to change. She draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, emotionally-focused techniques, and mindfulness to offer concrete tools. Conversations are direct but compassionate, with room for humor and real-life problem solving.

Her experience includes acute care settings, which shaped her ability to stay calm in high-stress moments and to prioritize what matters most now. That background informs how she helps people cope with grief, bipolar mood concerns, and sudden life disruptions. She also addresses workplace stress, isolation, and multicultural concerns.

Jeanni emphasizes clear communication and practical strategies for improving intimacy, anger management, and self-esteem. She supports people facing prejudice or discrimination and those exploring life purpose and commitment questions. Her approach blends motivation techniques and solution-focused thinking to map achievable next steps.

Sessions are offered from New York and conducted in English. Jeanni frames therapy as a team effort where goals are set together and progress is measured in real-life changes.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Jeanni uses cognitive behavioral therapy and emotionally-focused therapy alongside client-centered listening to guide online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing small behavior changes to ease symptoms like anxiety and depression. Emotionally-focused therapy concentrates on understanding feelings and patterns in close relationships to improve connection and reduce repeated conflicts. Client-centered therapy means the conversation centers on the client's goals and values, with the therapist offering support and practical feedback.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and she treats it as a collaboration. Together the therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences, then try methods that match those priorities. Adjustments are made over time if something feels off, so the plan evolves with progress and feedback.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules. These options allow for regular check-ins, homework discussion, and quick access to support between appointments. The aim is to make therapy flexible and usable so clients can practice new skills in their day-to-day lives.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
