About Tiawna
Tiawna Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with three years of clinical experience. She centers sessions on the person in front of her and invites clients to use their own strengths while working through hard changes. She helps people manage stress, worry, and mood struggles.
Common topics include anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and issues related to sexual identity. Tiawna also supports people dealing with relationships, intimacy concerns, addiction, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
In the therapy room she listens first and asks practical questions next. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps a person can try between meetings. She uses client-centered work to follow what matters most to each person, and solution-focused methods to create small, doable changes.
Tiawna brings trauma-focused strategies when past hurt still affects daily life. That work looks at how wounds show up now and builds ways to manage upsetting memories or reactions. She also addresses attachment patterns, dissociation, mood and personality concerns, and non-traditional relationship structures like polyamory and kink when relevant.
People meet her for short-term problem solving and for longer work on deeper patterns. She aims for straightforward conversation and practical tools, while honoring each person’s story and pace.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. The therapist provides space to tell your story and helps you identify your own goals and strengths. This approach suits people who want a supportive, collaborative space to make sense of their experiences.Solution-Focused Therapy aims to find small changes that lead to progress. Sessions often identify one or two practical steps to try between meetings. This is useful for people who want concrete strategies and quicker shifts in daily life.
Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at how past hurt affects current thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Work includes learning ways to manage upsetting memories and to reduce painful reactions over time. This approach can help when trauma symptoms get in the way of routine life.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice may change as work progresses and new priorities emerge.
Online therapy offers flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and set a meeting time, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging helps keep a conversation going between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and differing schedules.
