About Sarah
Sarah Johnson is an LCSW based in Mississippi who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions while addressing concerns such as relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, and career questions.
Background and approach
With six years of clinical experience, she draws on a range of therapeutic tools to support clients facing complex issues including adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric matters, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, body image, codependency, and recovery from domestic violence and separation.
Her style is warm and approachable, emphasizing respect and compassion while creating a space for honest expression without judgment. Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs, blending client-centered listening with evidence-informed methods like cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused strategies.
Motivational interviewing and trauma-focused techniques are used when appropriate to help clients build coping skills, identify strengths, and take practical steps toward change. Sarah frames therapy as a collaborative process and aims to empower clients to make meaningful, sustainable changes.
She offers multiple remote session formats and works to design treatment plans that reflect each client’s goals and life circumstances.
Approaches that guide online sessions and practical benefits
Sarah uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. She also draws on client-centered therapy, offering a supportive, empathic stance that prioritizes the client’s perspective and personal strengths. When motivation for change is a barrier, she may apply motivational interviewing techniques to help clarify goals and encourage movement toward those goals.Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. She works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time so therapy remains relevant and practical.
Online therapy with her is offered through multiple formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or manage therapy when travel or mobility are factors. These options provide flexibility in how people engage in the work and allow for ongoing support that can be adapted to changing circumstances.
