Megan Johnson, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Megan!

I enjoy working with my clients to provide a compassionate and safe place for them to make positive changes in their lives.

My focus

I work with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. I enjoy helping clients identify their strengths and coping strategies to manage various life challenges.

My approach

My therapeutic approach is eclectic, meaning that I combine several different approaches. The main treatment modalities I use include cognitive-behavioral therapy, strength-based, and solution-focused approaches.

My communication style

I am compassionate, warm, and empathetic. I offer a non-judgmental space to help clients feel safe and to be honest about their struggles.

My journey to mental healthcare

I decided I wanted to become a therapist after attending (and benefiting a lot from) therapy myself. I love helping people be honest, to not feel alone in their struggles, and to heal.

My goals for you

I collaborate with clients to establish their own treatment goals in the first couple of sessions. Then we will check in on progress towards goals periodically together, to ensure that our work together is helping.

Our first session

Our first session will involve getting to know each other. I will ask questions about your reasons for pursuing therapy, and we will begin to discuss goals together.
