Lamara Johnson, LCSW

Lamara Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Louisiana with 18 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, anger, relationship and parenting concerns, as well as depression, addictions, trauma and grief. Sessions are conducted in English.

Her approach centers on practical problem solving and building on what already works. She uses client-centered methods to listen and reflect what matters to each person. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to notice and change patterns that fuel anger, anxiety, or low mood. Mindfulness practices are introduced to help regulate strong emotions in the moment.

Motivational interviewing and solution-focused therapy help people set clear, achievable goals and find steps that fit their life. She also brings experience with family and relationship dynamics, blended family issues, communication problems, and separation or divorce concerns. Work on addictions, impulse control, and coping with change is part of her practice.

Lamara aims to highlight strengths and practical resources rather than only focusing on problems. In sessions she helps clients identify triggers, experiment with new responses, and practice skills between meetings. The style is straightforward and goal-oriented, with attention to cultural and multicultural concerns when relevant.

People often seek her help for handling workplace frustration, curbing snapping at loved ones, or managing built-up resentment. Her background includes work with trauma, post-traumatic stress, parenting around pregnancy and childbirth, and issues related to prejudice and discrimination. The first meeting typically clarifies goals and a plan for next steps.
