Taij Johnson, LPC, LCMHC

Taij Johnson is a licensed counselor who brings a direct, person-focused approach to therapy. He holds LPC and LCMHC credentials and has spent seven years helping people who face big life changes and ongoing mental health struggles. He aims to meet people where they are and work at a pace that feels right for them.

He began in mental health at the entry level while in high school and later provided hands-on support as a personal care worker in group homes and assisted living. He also worked as a high-risk intervention technician in schools and as a Protective Services social worker. Those early roles shaped his practical outlook on care and his attention to everyday challenges.

After completing a master's degree in counseling, he became a licensed clinical mental health counselor. His practice emphasizes client-centered work and draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, and psychodynamic perspectives. He adapts tools to suit each person's needs rather than using a single method for everyone.

Taij often helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar spectrum concerns, grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, and identity or LGBT-related concerns. He also addresses life transitions, career questions, and parenting stress, along with focused concerns like abandonment, attachment, body image, and caregiving strain.

He works in North Carolina and conducts sessions in English. People interested in starting therapy can complete a short matching questionnaire to begin the process and schedule sessions according to his availability.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the person seeking help. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to clarify values and decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful cycles. It is often helpful for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy encourages simple attention practices and present-moment awareness to reduce reactivity and build steadier emotional habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or blend methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That process usually begins with a few conversations to see what helps and to adjust the plan over time.

The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer continuity during transitions or relocation. Licensed professionals can use these approaches in remote sessions to support coping with midlife changes, grief, relationship strain, anxiety, and other concerns without promising particular delivery methods.
