About Heather
Heather Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with three years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and anger. She also supports clients dealing with self-esteem, career stress, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, grief, and life transitions.
Heather frames clients as the experts on their own stories. She focuses on strengths people already have and uses practical steps to tackle what gets in the way. Conversations aim to clarify small changes that make daily life easier and reduce repeated reactions like snapping or bottling up resentment.
Her approach uses clear, action-oriented methods. Sessions typically include setting short-term goals, trying new strategies between meetings, and reviewing what worked. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide those steps without assuming a single path suits everyone.
Heather helps people break problems into manageable parts. That can mean practicing new ways to respond in stressful moments, improving communication, or planning for changes at work or home. She encourages steady progress and adjusts methods if they do not fit.
Practical matters are part of the work. Heather asks clients to notice what they try between sessions and brings that material into discussion. This keeps sessions focused on things that can be tried right away and changes that can be measured over time.
How sessions work
Practical approaches used in online sessions
Heather uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and to practice new responses to stressful triggers. CBT is useful for anger that comes from automatic reactions, anxiety, or patterns of negative thinking.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help clients find their own reasons for change and to build motivation for trying new behaviors. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set small, concrete goals and to track if those steps make life easier over time.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Heather collaborates with clients to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts the direction as people try techniques and report back on what helps.
Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. They can also allow people to practice skills between appointments and bring real examples into the conversation.
