About Chyleetzia

Chyleetzia Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, grief, trauma, and related concerns.

Background and approach

With 13 years of formal counseling experience and prior work spanning over two decades in helping roles, she blends practical guidance with an emphasis on building healthier connections and emotional resilience.

Her background includes a BA in Management and Organizational Development, an MA in Early Childhood Education, and an MA in Counseling, and she brings that combination of education and real-world experience to clinical work. Her approach integrates several evidence-informed methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered techniques, and Motivational Interviewing.

She also holds a Michigan Association for Infant Mental Health Mentor endorsement, which supports work with pregnant mothers and caregivers of infants. Chyleetzia frames therapy as a collaborative process aimed at strengthening self-understanding, improving communication, and helping clients move beyond patterns of shame, grief, or disconnection toward more fulfilling relationships and wellbeing.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Chyleetzia commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies for changing behaviors and mood. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems because it pairs short-term, structured work with clear skills practice. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people clarify values, accept difficult experiences without getting stuck in them, and take committed steps toward meaningful living.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt methods over time so the work feels relevant and achievable for the client. That partnership helps determine whether CBT, ACT, attachment-focused work, or a blend of methods is the best path forward.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit counseling into a busy life or when in-person options are limited. These formats support consistent access to licensed professionals and allow therapy to continue across locations and schedules while focusing on the same therapeutic goals as in-person work.
