Taij Johnson, LPC, LCMHC

Taij Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with seven years of experience in mental health care. He draws on a client-centered style to help people navigate relationship concerns and other life challenges. Taij aims to create a calm, direct space where people can talk about what matters most to them and try new ways of coping.

He began in entry-level mental health roles while still in high school. Early work included personal care in group homes and assisted living, and intervention work in schools. Those hands-on roles were followed by time as a Protective Services social worker, where he worked with people from many backgrounds.

Following graduate school, he completed a master of arts in counseling and holds credentials as an LPC and LCMHC in North Carolina. Over the years he has supported people dealing with trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and stress related to caregiving and chronic illness.

Taij uses approaches drawn from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative therapy. He adapts these methods to each person, focusing on practical steps and clearer communication rather than jargon. He pays attention to issues such as intimacy, attachment, body image, kink and alternative sex culture, and blended family dynamics.

People who choose him can expect straightforward discussion, work on real-life skills, and a focus on the relationships that matter. To begin, readers should use the continue button on this profile and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule according to therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Taij commonly uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening closely and following the person's lead so sessions respond to real concerns and priorities. This approach helps when someone needs space to talk about relationships, grief, or life changes without feeling rushed.

He also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating difficulties, and managing stress with concrete steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Taij will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining a few techniques or focusing on one path for a time, and the plan can change as progress is made.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available formats when you book. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or caregiving, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt client-centered and CBT techniques to remote sessions to keep the focus on clear communication and practical tools.
