About Johanna
Johanna Hong is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) who focuses on helping adults feel heard and supported while they work through stressful life moments. She uses practical, evidence-based therapies and aims to make therapy feel approachable and down-to-earth. Johanna brings five years of experience to each session and centers the person in front of her rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Her work often focuses on stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
How Johanna works
She also supports concerns such as panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and issues tied to multicultural or immigration experiences. Johanna tailors sessions to the specific needs and background of each person she sees. Sessions are collaborative and practical.
Johanna helps people identify patterns, try new ways of coping, and set small, realistic goals for change. She offers straightforward skills and ways to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and reactions. Johanna has experience addressing topics like first responder and veteran issues, aging and end-of-life concerns, guilt and shame, and a search for life purpose.
She adapts her approach when someone needs a mix of skill-building, emotional processing, and problem-solving. People work with her when they want clearer thinking, calmer days, and better tools for handling difficult emotions. Her goal is to help clients feel more connected to what matters in their lives and better able to move forward.

Online support options
Evidence-based techniques delivered online
Johanna draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and lived experience. Cognitive approaches help people notice thoughts that fuel anxiety or anger and teach steps to test and change those patterns. Mindfulness-informed methods cultivate present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. Trauma-informed care centers safety and pacing while guiding people through processing past harms and learning coping tools for post-traumatic stress.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Johanna works with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences, and adjusts over time if something does not fit. She encourages open discussion about what helps and what feels difficult, so the plan evolves together.
Online therapy offers options that fit real life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and deeper interpersonal work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, skills practice, and flexibility between scheduled sessions. These formats make it possible to pursue consistent care while balancing work, caregiving, and other commitments.
