About Lamara
Lamara Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 18 years of experience based in Louisiana. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting pressures, anger, depression, addictions, trauma, and related concerns. Sessions are held in English and she does not take international clients.
Lamara focuses on practical steps people can use when emotions feel overwhelming. She prioritizes strengths and looks for what is already working. Sessions involve clear goal-setting and straightforward strategies that fit daily life.
Her approach combines client-centered listening with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness practices. That means she pays attention to how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact, and she uses mindful awareness to reduce reactivity. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused ideas are added when someone needs short-term momentum or help deciding next steps.
In therapy she helps people talk through relationship tension, handle anger that affects close connections, and cope with loss or major life changes. She also supports people struggling with substance use, communication problems, blended family issues, and the fallout from discrimination or prejudice.
Work with Lamara typically looks like setting clear, manageable goals, testing small behavior changes, and checking what helps. She explains tools in plain language and practices them together in session. People leave with concrete options to try between appointments.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. It helps people clarify goals and feel understood during problem-solving. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness.Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the early work. Lamara collaborates with each person to identify goals and tries methods that match those goals. She adjusts techniques over time based on what helps and what feels practical for daily life.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-in meetings when needed, and remove commuting time. These practical benefits help people try strategies between meetings and apply them more consistently.
