About Sebrina

Sebrina Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 14 years of experience in human services. She focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, depression, parenting, family issues, addictions, trauma, grief, and related concerns. Her tone in sessions is warm and compassionate, and she aims to meet people where they are.

She uses clear, respectful language so parents worried about their kids or home life can follow each step. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy.

Background and approach

Sessions often center on realistic problem solving and building small, doable habits. Expect a collaborative plan that matches what is happening at home and what a person wants to change. Johnson has worked in residential shelters and community mental health agencies.

That varied background shaped how she supports people through trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She has led both group and individual work across different settings. Her counseling style is accepting and nonjudgmental.

She encourages participation and adapts methods to fit each person’s needs. Parents will find straightforward tools and hands-on steps they can try between sessions. Located in Michigan, she provides services in English.

Sessions aim to help clients identify specific goals, practice new skills, and track progress over time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and acceptance. The therapist creates a supportive space and follows what matters most to the client, which helps with confidence, self-esteem, and parenting worries.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It breaks problems into small steps and teaches practical skills for anxiety, depression, and stress. This approach often includes homework so progress can continue between sessions.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy emphasizes understanding and changing emotional patterns in close relationships. It can help people improve communication and repair strained bonds at home.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and daily life to decide which methods fit best. This is a collaborative process and may combine techniques as needed.

Online sessions use video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to add flexibility. These formats make it easier to attend from home, fit therapy around family schedules, and keep momentum with short check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and tracking tools to work over these formats so clients can practice skills between visits.

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.
