Jennifer Johnson, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Jennifer!

Are you feeling burdened or overwhelmed? My role is to come along side of you and create a safe space to explore what might be holding you back and to identify ways to create change.

My focus

Are you often left thinking that life has thrown you too many curve balls and that you simply want something different or something more? Together we will explore healthy ways of thinking and behaving that can move you closer to the life you are wanting.

My approach

I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you identify your values while learning to accept 'what is' and sometimes grieving 'what is not'. I also utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help modify unhelpful patterns of thinking that may be hindering you from living the life you want.

My communication style

I will present to you questions that allow you to explore your own patterns and themes and together we will uncover new approaches to life. I will consistently facilitate a communication style that highlights your self-worth.

My journey to mental healthcare

I entered into the therapeutic scope of practice after realizing that we are all worthy despite the many facets of this world that will attempt to negate our worth. I am a firm believer that many of us benefit from connecting with someone to assist us in brushing away the debris and rubble that sometimes covers up our own sense of worth.

My goals for you

Together we will create small actionable steps that help take you closer to your desired self.

Our first session

Our first session will be learning where you have been and where you are now and eventually exploring where you want to be. Our work together will be identifying skills that can help along that journey of where you want to be.
