About Desiree
Desiree Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, and relationship strain. She works with individuals who are coping with life changes, grief, parenting challenges, anger, low self-esteem, career stress, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Desiree speaks English and practices from Texas.
Her sessions begin with practical listening to understand what matters most. She helps clients name their goals and breaks them into manageable steps.
How Desiree works
Conversations are collaborative and focused on finding realistic ways to cope day to day. Desiree draws from several methods to match each person’s needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and build flexibility.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also uses client-centered principles to keep sessions grounded in empathy and support. For relationship concerns she draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy and elements of the Gottman Method to improve communication and repair connection.
Techniques are mixed so sessions stay interactive and relevant. With four years of clinical experience, Desiree pairs practical tools with a warm, steady presence. She guides people through setbacks and change without rushing the process.
If someone is ready to start, she asks a few questions and creates a plan that fits their life.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches for online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed action toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by focusing on behavior that aligns with personal goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is about noticing thoughts and behaviors that get in the way and practicing practical alternatives. It often helps with anxiety, low mood, and patterns that cause stress in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they will choose which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult, live chat can support quick check-ins, and text messaging fits brief updates or ongoing homework. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life, or changing schedules while still using ACT, CBT, or other therapeutic tools.
