Deboraha Johnson, LPC

Deboraha Johnson is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who centers therapy on the person in front of her. She uses straightforward, practical conversations to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. Her approach aims to make therapy useful and relevant to everyday life.

Deboraha holds a Master of Science in Clinical Counseling and Psychology and brings 19 years of professional experience. She has worked in outpatient settings offering both individual and group therapy and has more than nine years focused on couples and relationship issues. She also supports people facing chronic illness and caregiving challenges, along with aging and geriatric issues.

In sessions she draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means she listens first, helps clarify unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and then works with clients to set short-term, practical goals. Sessions are collaborative and goal oriented so progress can be tracked.

She also addresses life transitions such as divorce and career changes, and common concerns like sleep disruption, self-esteem, and intimacy-related issues. Deboraha is familiar with military-related stress and veteran issues as well. Her style is adaptable, matching tools to what each person needs in the moment.

People who choose her can expect clear communication and step-by-step planning. She works with adults in Georgia and accepts clients internationally in English. To begin, a short questionnaire and scheduling step are used to match people to a session plan.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. Online or in person, this means sessions that start by making priorities clear and building a respectful working relationship.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is practical and often uses short exercises and worksheets to test new ways of thinking, which can be shared and reviewed remotely.

Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, achievable steps toward concrete goals. In online sessions that might mean setting a simple action to try between meetings and then checking progress the next time.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist works with each person to choose or combine methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options when you book. Online therapy can make scheduling easier, help fit sessions around work or caregiving, and reduce travel time. It also supports using tools like worksheets and brief check-ins to keep momentum between meetings.
