Josh Johnson - LPC

Hey there! I am an LPC who has been in practice since 2018. I help adults dealing with anxiety, depression, and PTSD find hope and healing. I've worked with many people in community agencies and private practice, in urban and rural settings, and with clients from diverse backgrounds.

I prioritize showing up with genuineness, empathy, and positive regard for my clients. I use a person-focused approach in every session, trusting that my clients have the ability to grow and change in the ways that they want to. My clients are the experts in their lives, and my role is to be a sounding board and a safe space for the individuals I work with. In that safe space, we can work to sort through the things that brought you to therapy. I use EMDR, CBT, DBT, existential, and psychodynamic approaches to help the clients I work with. 

I love working with adults who are motivated to make changes in their lives but aren't sure where to begin. My clients know there is the potential for breaking troublesome patterns but often lack the tools to do so. Those I work with often come to me feeling stuck, disconnected, and ready for a change. 

I have worked with clients from all walks of life and have had an extremely broad experience across populations, cultures, backgrounds, and symptoms. This has allowed me to develop a significant strength in my ability to connect with my clients deeply and meaningfully. This helps my clients feel safe and seen, which is an important foundation for all healing. My clients appreciate my ability to use humor throughout our work as well as my intention to pace the work at a speed that my clients feel comfortable with.
