About Tina
Tina Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with nine years of experience based in Mississippi. She works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, anger, grief, parenting strain, workplace issues, and recovery from trauma and abuse.
She commonly helps people who feel stuck by intense emotions or long-standing shame and guilt. Tina listens closely and uses straightforward conversation to help clients notice unhelpful patterns. She focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions as well as things to try in the moment when frustration builds.
Her approach draws on methods that teach skills for tolerating strong feelings, shifting unhelpful thoughts, and acting on personal values. Sessions include skills practice, talking through specific conflicts, and setting small behavioral goals. The pace is collaborative; clients and Tina decide what to try next based on what feels useful.
Tina also addresses workplace stress, control issues, and the burdens of caregiving and compassion fatigue. She supports people handling relationship strain, including issues tied to parenting, finances, or changing life roles. Her work includes helping people explore forgiveness, self-love, and rebuilding self-esteem.
She uses techniques from acceptance and commitment work, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical skills, mindfulness, and client-centered conversation. Sessions aim to help people reduce reactivity, increase choices in how they respond, and practice new ways of managing anger and stress.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them, then choose actions that align with their values to reduce anger and regret. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical exercises to challenge unhelpful thinking and change reactive behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness when strong emotions feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tina collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. She mixes skills training, values-based planning, and short experiments so the client and therapist can see what helps most.
