I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over eight years of experience providing therapy in both English and Spanish. I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families, specializing in trauma, stress, and depression.
I strive to create a warm, supportive space where you feel heard and understood. My approach is collaborative and tailored to your needs, helping you build insight, develop coping skills, and move toward meaningful change.
Whether you’re navigating a difficult time or working through past experiences, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
When life feels overwhelming, it's easy to lose sight of yourself while trying to keep everything else together. Anxiety, depression, family conflict, grief, or difficult life experiences can leave you feeling emotionally exhausted, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward. You don't have to keep carrying those burdens alone. I work alongside individuals experiencing anxiety, family issues, stress management, grief and loss, and relationship issues so they can build healthier relationships, regain emotional balance, and reconnect with the life they want to live. Working with adolescents, adults, and seniors, I strive to create a compassionate, supportive environment where you feel genuinely heard, respected, and empowered to create meaningful, lasting change.
I believe therapy should feel like a conversation, not an interrogation. My role isn’t to tell you what to do—it’s to walk alongside you, helping you better understand yourself, work through life’s challenges, and build the confidence and skills to move forward. I use evidence-based approaches like CBT, Trauma-Focused CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Person-Centered Therapy, and strengths-based techniques, but I also believe the most important part of therapy is the relationship we build together.
Every person is different, so I tailor therapy to meet your unique needs. With younger children, that may look like play-based therapy. With teens and adults, it often feels like a comfortable conversation where you can be yourself without fear of judgment. My goal is for every client to leave feeling heard, supported, and equipped with practical tools they can use in everyday life.
Blest be the life that finds joy in the journey...
Getting here was the first step—now let's focus on where you want to go.
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who is passionate about helping individuals navigate life's emotional and psychological challenges.
Whether you're experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, grief, trauma, relationship difficulties, irritability, sleep problems, or feeling overwhelmed by life's demands, I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences and work toward meaningful change.
I provide therapy in both English and Spanish and have experience working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families from diverse cultural backgrounds.
Ms. Johnson graduated from the University of Texas- Arlington school of social work with an MSSW degree in 2004. Her work experience entails working in medical social work working in primary care, women's health, substance use, and the homeless population. Working with chronic illness is difficult because you see the obvious decline in your clients. My goal is to provide support and coping strategies for patients with chronic illness. Ms. Johnson has 18 years, of experience working in medical social work with the goal of improving clients optimal health by providing support with all primary care, mental health, and physical health needs. Above all she enjoys mentoring new clinicians and is a board approved clinical supervisor in the state of Mississippi.
As both a mental health and addiction professional, I bring a compassionate and holistic perspective to my work with clients. I understand that each person’s experiences are unique, and I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel comfortable exploring challenges, building on their strengths, and working toward meaningful change.
My educational background reflects my commitment to understanding the connection between mental health, trauma, and overall well-being. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Health Promotion with a minor in Psychology from Colorado State University–Pueblo, followed by a Master of Social Work with a concentration in Mental Health and Trauma from the University of Denver.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Garland
Finding addiction therapists in Garland starts with understanding the kind of support that fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, substance use, prescription drug concerns, gambling, compulsive behaviors, and related stress, anxiety, or relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match what you want to address. Some therapists may mention motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, relapse prevention, or coordination with a prescriber when medication support is part of your care team.
Garland offers a range of therapy options, with local offices and virtual appointments that can make care easier to fit into your schedule. Virtual care can also expand your options if you want a therapist with specific addiction experience or a non-judgmental, harm reduction-informed approach. When comparing therapists, look at appointment availability, whether they are accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can help you see how they describe their approach to addiction care, what concerns they focus on, and how sessions are typically structured.
Therapy in Garland can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for addiction therapists in Garland who accept a wide range of insurance plans, view estimated costs after you enter your insurance details, and book directly when you find a fit. You can browse therapists, review bios, and choose between in-person or virtual care when you’re ready.
