I am Earlene Johnson, a licensed Independent Social Worker in the state of Ohio with a strong passion for Human Services and helping individuals create meaningful and lasting change in their lives.
I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Clinical Mental Health Therapist dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based, and trauma-informed care in a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Cleveland State University and my Master of Science in Social Administration from Case Western Reserve University. I also completed a Trauma Certification at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) and have training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), an evidence-based treatment for trauma. My additional professional training includes Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and parenting skills.
I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families from diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. My areas of focus include trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, stress management, and emotional regulation. As a bilingual therapist, I am committed to providing culturally responsive care to both English- and Spanish-speaking individuals.
My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and tailored to each client's unique needs. I believe healing begins with a trusting therapeutic relationship where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered. I integrate trauma-informed care, TF-CBT, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and person-centered techniques to help clients build resilience, develop healthy coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.
My goal is to help you reconnect with your strengths, restore balance, and move toward a more fulfilling and authentic life.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Cincinnati, OH
Searching for therapists in Cincinnati starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Many people look for therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy styles, and experience that match what you want to focus on. Some therapists may use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy, while others may focus on couples counseling, family therapy, or grief counseling in Cincinnati.
Cincinnati offers a strong mix of local therapy options, with offices across areas like Over-the-Rhine, Hyde Park, Northside, Clifton, and downtown. Your best fit may depend on more than specialty alone. Consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, whether sessions are in person or virtual, and whether a free phone consultation is available. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how each person describes their approach, communication style, and session structure before you book.
Therapy in Cincinnati, Ohio can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your session cost and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you find licensed therapists in Cincinnati who match your preferences and offer clear cost estimates before your first session. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can confirm your coverage for Cincinnati on Headway before booking. You can browse therapists, review bios, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
