About Trenese
Trenese Johnson is a licensed social worker in Georgia with 28 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, and intimacy-related concerns. She approaches each person with respect and assumes they know their life best.
Her aim is to support people as they take steps toward clearer choices and better functioning. Her style is direct and collaborative. She listens first, then helps people identify small, practical steps they can try between sessions.
Background and approach
Trenese uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to notice patterns of thinking and behavior. She also draws on mindfulness techniques to build calm and somatic methods to help with tension held in the body. Sessions tend to emphasize current problems and workable solutions.
She often uses solution-focused strategies to set concrete goals and measure progress. That practical focus can be useful for coping with life changes, managing anger, or addressing career and caregiving stress. Trenese treats a wide range of concerns including parenting, addictions, ADHD, depression, and compassion fatigue.
She also works with issues around sexuality, non-monogamy, and prejudice or discrimination. Her background supports care for aging and geriatric issues and caregiver stress as well. Credentials listed are LICSW, LCSW, and CSW, with licensure in Georgia.
Sessions are offered in English. Her approach is grounded, straightforward, and aimed at helping people make meaningful changes in everyday life.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Trenese combines practical therapies to address day-to-day problems and deeper patterns. Client-centered therapy means sessions focus on each person's priorities and strengths, with the therapist following the client's lead to build trust and clarity. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce distress and improve functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Trenese will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, comfort level, and life situation. She often mixes tools from different approaches so the plan is tailored rather than fixed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexible ways to connect. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, support those who travel or manage caregiving, and allow follow-up between sessions. The focus remains on practical change, goal-setting, and steady progress using methods that suit the individual.
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.
