Taij Johnson, LPC, LCMHC

Taij Johnson is a licensed counselor who uses a client-centered approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. He holds LPC and LCMHC credentials and brings seven years of clinical experience to his work in North Carolina.

He began in mental health with hands-on roles in high school, providing personal care in group homes and assisted living. He later worked as a high-risk intervention technician in schools and as a Protective Services social worker. Those frontline roles shaped his practical style in counseling.

After completing a Master of Arts in Counseling, he became a licensed clinical mental health counselor. He blends straightforward talk with tools from cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness approaches. Sessions often focus on clear steps people can try between meetings.

Taij helps people with a wide range of concerns such as relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, mood disorders like depression and bipolar, ADHD, and caregiving or aging and geriatric issues. He also supports those dealing with body image, eating or sleeping problems, chronic illness, and career or parenting stress.

He aims to meet people where they are and tailor work to their needs. That can mean short-term problem solving, unpacking past patterns, or building coping skills. People can expect a practical, compassionate style that focuses on small changes that add up.

How these approaches fit into online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a supportive relationship. The therapist follows the person's lead, helps clarify goals, and adjusts pace to what feels manageable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. It provides straightforward exercises and steps people can practice between sessions to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy uses simple awareness exercises to reduce stress and improve attention, which can help with anxiety, sleep, and mood regulation.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying a short CBT-focused plan, using mindfulness practices, or keeping the work broadly client-centered while testing what helps most.

Session logistics should fit everyday life. Because session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work, caregiving, or health needs, and it can allow shorter check-ins or focused skills sessions when needed. The therapist aims to help people apply tools in daily routines so progress carries over between meetings.
