About Christen
Christen Johnson helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, or relationship pain. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana and brings 12 years of experience to her work. She aims to create a respectful, compassionate space where people can speak honestly about what is hard.
Sessions focus on concrete steps and clear goals rather than long lists of labels. Christen adapts conversation and tools to fit each person's needs and pace.
How Christen works
Her work covers trauma and abuse, depression, and struggles with motivation and confidence. She also addresses concerns like abandonment, attachment issues, communication problems, and the strain that comes with caregiving or chronic illness. Practical difficulties such as divorce, infidelity, substance use, and blended family tensions are included in her focus areas.
Christen draws on several evidence-based approaches to shape treatment. She uses acceptance and commitment strategies to help people clarify values and take meaningful action, cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and client-centered methods to keep the conversation grounded in each person's experience. People who choose Christen can expect straightforward, goal-minded sessions.
She works with motivation and small, manageable changes. The aim is to reduce immediate distress and build skills that last beyond therapy.

Online support options
Using practical approaches in online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and recommit to what matters most, so small actions line up with personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience, offering empathy and reflective listening to help people find their own solutions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christen will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals, preferences, and what feels helpful in session. Together they can try strategies and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can use less bandwidth or be easier during a busy day, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other commitments while focusing on practical steps and skill building.
