About Taij
Taij Johnson is a licensed counselor who uses a client-centered way of working. He focuses on creating a calm, respectful space where people can talk through what matters to them. He draws on seven years of experience in mental health and social services to guide sessions toward clear, usable steps.
Before earning his counseling degree, he worked in hands-on support roles in group homes and assisted living. He also worked in schools as a high-risk intervention technician and later served as a Protective Services social worker.
Background and approach
Those early roles shaped how he responds to everyday stress and crisis alike. He holds a Master of Arts in Counseling and practices as an LPC and as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor. In sessions he listens first, then uses familiar tools from cognitive-behavioral work and mindfulness to address present concerns.
He also draws on narrative and motivational approaches when helpful. Taij helps people with anxiety, depression, trauma and grief, and relationship and intimacy-related concerns. He also supports clients dealing with parenting strain, caregiving stress, body image, sleep or eating difficulties, and work or career worries.
His style is practical and steady. He works to meet each person where they are, break concerns into manageable steps, and build skills that fit into daily life. Clients can expect straightforward conversation, short-term strategies, and time to reflect on deeper patterns.
How Taij’s approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy is about listening and tailoring sessions to the person in front of him. In online sessions that means checking in about what matters most and shaping each meeting around the client's goals and pace.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on linking thoughts, feelings, and actions. Taij uses practical CBT tools to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test small behavior changes that can lower anxiety or lift mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to help reduce stress and improve concentration in daily life. These exercises are easy to practice between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He will discuss options during early sessions and adjust methods based on the client's needs, goals, and personal preferences so therapy fits real life.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let the conversation feel most like an in-person meeting. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make quick check-ins or step-by-step coaching possible during a busy day. These formats help make it easier to keep appointments and to use skills between sessions.
