About Taij
Taij Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with seven years of experience. He works with people dealing with anger, anxiety, depression, relationship stress, grief, trauma, and related concerns. He also supports clients facing issues like ADHD, self-esteem, career stress, and parenting strain.
He began in mental health at an entry level while still in high school. Early roles included personal care work in group homes and assisted living, and high-risk intervention work in schools. Those hands-on jobs led to work as a Protective Services social worker after college.
Taij then completed a Master of Arts in Counseling and became a fully licensed LCMHC. His clinical background blends direct care experience with counselor training. That mix shapes a practical, down-to-earth style in sessions.
His approach is client-centered and uses a range of methods. He mentions cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic, trauma-focused, solution-focused, humanistic, and rational-emotive approaches. In practice he helps people talk through what triggers their anger and find clear strategies to manage reactions.
Sessions focus on what the person needs right now. Taij aims to help clients reduce overwhelming feelings, repair communication, and rebuild routines that affect sleep, eating, and daily functioning. He works in straightforward language and offers collaborative planning for next steps.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Taij uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness Therapy in ways that work well over remote sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person, which helps shape goals and session topics. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and translates into specific exercises to try between meetings. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple grounding and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and can be practiced anywhere.Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best based on goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into daily life by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They can also allow work on concrete tasks between meetings, like behavioral experiments from CBT or brief mindfulness practices that fit into a break at work.
