Hello, my name is Cynthia Johnson. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I am skilled in a variety of counseling orientations and I seem to understand the client and use interventions that meet the client where they are with regard to gender, sexual identity, culture, and unique personality. I use a combination of the latest scientific interventions and a caring heart.
My approach
I am an integrative counselor which means that I draw from a wide range of orientations. Generally, I try to use scientific intervention whenever possible and subsequent approaches that are in line with the client's needs and values.
My focus
I see clients from ages 5 through end of life. Although most of my clients present with Anxiety and Depressive disorders, I am open to working with anyone focusing on any issue that can be safely treated virtually.
My communication style
I create a warm and accepting environment. I really love people and I know that there is something wonderful about every person that I cross paths with. Clients report that they feel supported, safe, and respected when they work with me.
My journey to mental healthcare
I was attracted to counseling through my love of people. In a formal position, I used to be a limo driver and would always have the opportunity to speak to clients during our travels. I discovered that there is something wonderful about everyone. My goal is to connect with that individuality. Nothing fills my heart more than seeing a client empowered with the freedom to feel good, secure, safe, and congruent with the person that they are.
My goals for you
Goal setting is important to gauge progress in counseling. With my clients, when we set up a goal, we do it with the idea that the client will have the best chance of success. Mountains can be climbed one step at a time.
My first session with you
Clients should expect a warm and comforting experience where they are heard with an open heart and mind. Clients are like a shooting star. The client is the star and the counselor rides in the tail. The session is all about the comfort and sense of control over their healing experience.
