About Luciana

Luciana Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas who draws on a client-centered foundation while integrating cognitive behavioral techniques to address day-to-day struggles and deeper emotional wounds.

Background and approach

With three years of professional experience, she supports people navigating stress, anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma and abuse, helping them build practical skills for emotional regulation and clearer thinking. Her work also addresses self-esteem, motivation, and the challenges that come with life transitions, including feelings of isolation, attachment concerns, and questions about life purpose.

Luciana aims to foster an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore difficult thoughts and feelings and develop coping strategies rooted in their own goals and values. Therapeutic sessions emphasize collaboration and empowerment, combining conversations that honor the client’s perspective with targeted approaches to change unhelpful patterns.

She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English, offering multiple formats to accommodate different schedules and preferences.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and creating a respectful, empathic space where the client’s own goals and values guide the work; this approach helps people feel heard and steers treatment toward what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete exercises and tools for managing anxiety, mood difficulties, and stress. Motivational Interviewing helps clarify personal motivation and resolve ambivalence, which can be useful when someone is ready to make changes but feels uncertain about how to begin.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist collaborates with each client to determine what fits best given their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative stance means strategies may be adjusted over time as progress unfolds and priorities shift.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or those living outside the therapist’s immediate area. These formats make it possible to continue regular sessions, practice skills between meetings, and maintain continuity of care while accommodating different communication styles and practical constraints.
