Robin Johnson, LMSW, LICSW

Robin Johnson is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with eight years of clinical experience. She works in Michigan and helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, trauma, grief, depression, and related concerns.

Robin describes a direct and transparent style. Sessions are guided by the client and she follows their lead while offering guidance. She uses a mix of practical techniques such as emotion regulation, grounding, and relaxation exercises alongside talk therapy and client-centered conversation.

Her work includes skills drawn from cognitive and behavioral approaches and dialectical behavior therapy. That means she teaches coping skills, ways to manage strong feelings, and strategies for healthier relationship interactions. She also brings in mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques when helpful.

Robin notes she uses humor and respect while also being straightforward. She says confrontation may be part of the work when it helps move things forward. Spirituality and values can be part of conversations if the client wants to include them.

Her stated focus areas cover a wide range of concerns including addictions, OCD and panic, mood disorders, attachment and communication problems, and issues related to adoption and aging. She also lists LGBT-related topics and parenting or family difficulties as areas she addresses.

To start, she asks clients to pick the online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time and costs vary by location.
