Lamara Johnson, LCSW - Therapist in Louisiana

About Lamara

Lamara Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 18 years of experience who helps adults and families facing stress and relationship strains. She communicates in plain language and aims to create a calm, practical space for parents and partners to talk through everyday challenges. Lamara draws on straightforward methods that focus on strengths and workable steps rather than long jargon-filled sessions.

Her approach begins by listening closely to each person’s needs.

Background and approach

She uses client-centered techniques to follow what matters most to the individual. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and build different patterns of behavior. Mindfulness practices are used to bring attention back to the present and reduce overwhelm.

Lamara has substantial experience with parenting concerns, blended family issues, and communication problems. She also supports people dealing with addiction, grief, trauma and abuse, anger, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and self-esteem struggles. Her background includes work with relationship and intimacy-related issues, divorce and separation, and multicultural concerns.

Sessions draw on motivational interviewing to encourage change and solution-focused strategies to develop clear, short-term goals. The work often involves practical steps parents and partners can try between sessions. Lamara balances attention to emotions with concrete tools for problem solving.

Based in Louisiana, she offers services in English and uses a subscription model for sessions. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions according to availability.

Approach and online therapy that fits family life

Client-centered therapy focuses on following each person’s concerns and building a trusting relationship. It means the therapist listens first and shapes sessions around what the client says matters most, which can be especially helpful for parenting and relationship issues.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple exercises to change unhelpful thinking and teach new coping skills for anxiety, mood, and conflict situations.

Mindfulness therapy brings attention to the present moment and reduces reactivity. Short breathing or grounding practices are used in sessions so people can manage stress more easily between meetings.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the client’s day-to-day life, and adjust tactics based on what helps most. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan stays practical and relevant.

Online sessions offer flexibility for busy families. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, while phone, live chat, and text messaging provide alternatives when schedules or comfort levels make video difficult. These options make it easier to keep continuity and try tools in real time during family routines.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
