Zakia Johnson, LPC, LCPC

Zakia Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland with 20 years of experience. She has spent two decades offering emotional and behavioral health support to people in her community. Her work is centered on practical help for everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, anger, grief, and depression.

Zakia provides individual counseling and has experience leading small groups and offering family-focused support when people seek it. She focuses on clear, consistent guidance and accountability so clients can build coping skills that matter in daily life. She talks with people about relationship and communication problems, parenting strain, career stress, and challenges linked to ADHD, addictions, and mood disorders.

Her approach emphasizes steady, actionable tools rather than abstract theory. She uses concrete conversations and skills practice to address issues like control problems, feelings of emptiness, attachment wounds, and forgiveness. Clients work on improving self-esteem, handling postpartum or pregnancy-related mood changes, and managing grief or trauma responses.

Zakia describes therapy as planting seeds that grow over time in different conditions. She aims to help people build habits and strategies that fit their routines and responsibilities. That means focusing on what a person can do between sessions as much as what happens during them.

People who want straightforward, skill-focused counseling for anger, relationship strain, life transitions, or mood challenges will find a practical style. Sessions are conducted in English, and services are based in Maryland.
