Latina Johnson, LCSW

Latina Johnson is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Michigan with six years of experience. She focuses on everyday thoughts and habits that affect mood and behavior. She invites people to take a first step and offers calm, nonjudgmental support as they begin to make changes.

Her work centers on practical ways to manage anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and addictions. She helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try different habits that can reduce stress and improve day-to-day functioning. Sessions are conversational and aimed at small, doable shifts rather than big leaps.

She uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral tools to challenge thoughts and build new routines, and attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings. Emotion-focused methods are used to help name emotions and process difficult experiences. Dialectical skills help with strong emotions and staying calm in distressing moments.

Latina pays attention to common life pressures like parenting, caregiving stress, blended family issues, and the isolation that can follow big changes. She also works with concerns such as grief, guilt, forgiveness, and problems tied to substance use. Her goal is practical progress that fits into everyday life.

People who prefer straightforward, compassionate conversation tend to do well with her. She encourages collaboration on goals and keeps tasks simple so new habits can be sustained. If you want help changing thoughts and daily habits, she offers a steady, realistic approach.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions. Online sessions can use this approach to notice patterns in how people connect, respond, and feel hurt, then try different ways of relating.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In teletherapy sessions this involves tracking thoughts, testing ideas, and practicing small behavior changes between meetings to break unhelpful cycles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick strategies that match their goals and daily life. She will check in and adjust methods as progress and needs evolve.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use video or audio based on comfort and bandwidth, helping therapy fit more naturally into everyday routines.
