About Tiniece

Tiniece Johnson is a licensed social worker practicing in Michigan. She holds the LMSW credential and brings 12 years of professional experience to her work. She focuses on practical steps that help people manage hard moments and change patterns that cause pain.

She helps with trauma and abuse, grief and loss, parenting challenges, stress, anxiety, and addictions. She also addresses relationships, intimacy-related difficulties, mood concerns like depression and bipolar, and attention-related struggles such as ADHD.

Background and approach

Additional areas include adoption and foster care, blended family issues, and multicultural concerns. Tiniece keeps sessions straightforward and empathetic. She aims to create a calm space for people to speak without judgment.

Conversations focus on what matters now and on small actions that can make life easier. Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. Those tools are used to help people manage emotions, rethink unhelpful habits, and improve connections with others.

Tiniece encourages realistic steps and steady progress. She recognizes that starting therapy takes courage and supports each person at their own pace. Practical solutions and steady support are hallmarks of her work.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match personal values. This approach is useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and many behavior patterns.

Choosing a way of working is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, try different strategies, and adjust the approach based on what is helpful. Together they decide which methods make the most sense for the client’s situation and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to keep momentum between sessions and to access support when life is busy. The variety of formats lets people pick what feels most manageable while working toward clearer patterns and steadier functioning.

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.
