About Tina

Tina Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting concerns, relationship strain, and trauma. She also offers support for issues such as anger, low self-esteem, workplace stress, compassion fatigue, and questions around identity and LGBT concerns. Her tone is straightforward and practical, aimed at parents and caregivers looking for clear help.

Tina uses simple, concrete conversation in sessions. She listens, reflects, and helps people notice habits that get in the way of their goals.

Background and approach

Sessions often include teaching a skill, trying a small change, and checking how that change worked the next time. Her counseling draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and client-centered methods. That means she mixes learning new coping skills with paying attention to values and present-moment experience.

The work often focuses on managing stress, improving day-to-day coping, and rebuilding a sense of control after hardship. Tina holds a Master of Social Work degree and is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MS LCSW C8883 and TX LCSW 110973. She brings nine years of documented professional experience to her practice in Mississippi.

Her background includes helping people navigate loss, family tensions, and workplace struggles. Her approach is practical and encouraging. She emphasizes small, sustainable changes and personal strengths.

People can expect clear homework, regular check-ins about progress, and a steady, respectful presence in sessions.

Online approaches that teach skills and build values

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are strong. This approach is useful for stress, life transitions, and when worry or avoidance get in the way of daily life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting thoughts and behaviors that keep problems stuck and then testing small changes. It is often used for anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and workplace stress because it offers concrete tools to try between sessions.

Tina treats choosing the right approach as a team effort. She will discuss options, try methods that fit a person's goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps. The process is collaborative and aimed at finding practical strategies that fit the client's life and preferences.

Online therapy with Tina uses video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These formats let people schedule sessions around work and family responsibilities and continue care from home. Many clients find that having multiple ways to check in makes it easier to practice new skills and stay consistent with therapy.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
