About Taij

Taij Johnson brings a client-centered framework informed by multiple modalities, with particular use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside mindfulness and narrative-based approaches.

Background and approach

He integrates practical skill-building with attention to personal meaning, aiming to help people manage anxiety, depression, trauma-related concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, and a wide range of life transitions. Taij's counseling style emphasizes meeting clients where they are and tailoring interventions to each person’s unique goals.

His path into counseling began with hands-on mental health work in group home and assisted living settings and later work as a high-risk intervention technician in schools. Those front-line roles and subsequent work in protective services shaped his perspective and motivated him to complete a master’s degree in counseling.

He holds licensure in both North Carolina and South Carolina as an LPC and LCMHC, and draws on seven years of professional experience to support clients facing challenges such as grief, bipolar and mood concerns, ADHD, caregiving stress, body image, and communication or family-of-origin issues.

Therapeutic approaches for online care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and developing practical coping skills; it is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and patterns that interfere with everyday functioning. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental stance where the therapist supports the client’s own pace and goals, fostering self-directed growth and stronger self-understanding. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention and acceptance skills to reduce reactivity and improve stress management, and it can complement cognitive or narrative work when coping with distressing feelings.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to explore goals, preferences, and what techniques feel most useful, adapting methods from CBT, client-centered work, mindfulness, or narrative approaches as needed to fit individual needs.

Online sessions using video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or geographic constraints. These formats make it possible to engage in therapy from different locations and to select the communication style that best supports progress and consistency.
