Carmetra (CeeCee) Grant-Johnson

My communication style

Working with me is collaborative, supportive, and goal-oriented. I blend CBT, mindfulness, and insight-oriented therapy to address current symptoms and underlying patterns. I’m warm but direct, and we move at your pace while staying focused. You’ll leave with clarity and practical tools for real life.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist to help people feel seen, supported, and empowered, especially when their experiences have been minimized. I’ve worked in community mental health and school-based settings, supporting clients through trauma, anxiety, depression, and major transitions. These roles shaped a practical, resourceful, trust-building approach.

My goals for you

Goal-setting is collaborative and flexible. We set short-term goals for relief (sleep, anxiety, coping, overwhelm) and longer-term goals for patterns (boundaries, self-worth, people-pleasing, relationships, past impacts). Goals fit your values and capacity and are updated regularly, no shame, no “failure.”

Our first session

In early sessions, we clarify what’s bringing you in (symptoms, stressors, patterns) and what you want to change emotionally, relationally, and day-to-day. We translate ambitious goals into realistic, measurable steps, often CBT-based, tracking outcomes such as symptom intensity, sleep, boundaries, communication, and coping skills.
