About Erin

Dr. Erin Johnson is a licensed psychologist who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and relationship challenges. She presents a warm, collaborative style and treats each person with respect and compassion. Many clients come for help with life changes, parenting strain, grief, anger, or career concerns. She frames clients as experts on their own stories and looks for strengths to build on.

With eight years of clinical experience, Dr. Johnson combines practical tools with mindful practices. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation and coping. Her work also draws on client-centered principles that center the person’s goals and values.

Sessions often include short skill-building exercises, guided breathing or mindfulness practices, and focused problem-solving. Dr. Johnson emphasizes collaborative goal setting, so therapy is shaped around what each person wants to change and how quickly they want to move.

She holds psychologist credentials in California and South Carolina: CA Psychologist 35730 and SC Psychologist 1125. She offers support for a broad range of concerns including postpartum depression, panic attacks, caregiver stress, fertility and money issues, and multicultural concerns. English is the language used for sessions.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Dr. Johnson draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside client-centered practice. CBT focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. DBT offers practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness. Client-centered work keeps the sessions focused on each person's priorities and values so therapy matches what matters most.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with clients to decide which methods to try first and adjusts plans based on how someone responds. Goals are set together and reviewed often so the process feels practical and relevant.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time. It also supports using guided breathing, brief mindfulness practices, and skill coaching during sessions to practice new ways of coping in everyday life.
