Brittany Johnson

Your story is unique, and I believe it deserves to be heard. There are countless reasons that may have brought you to therapy, and I recognize that taking the first step can require tremendous courage. Reaching out is an important investment in yourself, and I am committed to helping you identify your goals while supporting you every step of the way. My approach is centered on meeting you where you are, while empowering you with the tools and confidence to move toward where you want to be.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who is often described as caring, approachable, humorous, and direct in a gentle, supportive way. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Michigan State University and my Master of Social Work from the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC). Before transitioning into private practice, I spent six years as a school social worker, supporting children, adolescents, and families through a wide variety of academic, emotional, and behavioral challenges while also maintaining an adult caseload through virtual therapy.

I have experience helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, PTSD, grief, self-esteem concerns, parenting challenges, relationship and family issues, women's issues, racial and cultural stressors, life transitions, and the impact of injustice. I enjoy working collaboratively with clients to better understand their experiences, build resilience, and develop practical strategies for navigating life's challenges with greater confidence.

My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and strengths-based. I believe in encouraging clients while also gently challenging them to grow in ways that feel meaningful and achievable. I utilize evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, and culturally responsive interventions to create a personalized treatment plan that reflects each client's unique needs and goals.

Whether you are facing a specific challenge or simply looking for support through a difficult season, I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward healing, growth, and lasting change.
