About Christen
Christen Johnson is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Louisiana with 12 years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Christen focuses on practical ways to manage daily struggles and improve how clients cope.
Her approach mixes several evidence-informed methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build new habits. Client-Centered Therapy guides conversations so clients can set their own goals and feel heard.
Christen also integrates mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing to support steady progress. Mindfulness helps reduce reactivity and improve focus. Motivational interviewing can help people find personal reasons to change and keep going when change feels hard.
In sessions she aims to speak plainly and work through clear steps. Practical tools, short exercises, and focused conversation are common. She listens for what matters most to each person and adjusts the pace accordingly.
People often come for help after a painful event, when anxiety makes social situations harder, or when relationships feel strained. Christen assists with issues like attachment questions, grief after separation, caregiver stress, substance concerns, and coping with chronic health problems. Those seeking an initial appointment follow the site’s scheduling process to match and book a first session.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to values-based action. In practice this looks like short exercises during sessions and homework that focuses on small, meaningful steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets patterns of thinking and behavior, using practical tools to test beliefs and build new responses for anxiety and mood symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client’s goals and gives space for people to lead the conversation while the therapist reflects and asks clarifying questions. Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Christen will work with each person to see which methods fit best with their goals and comfort level. The first few meetings are often about trying techniques, seeing what helps, and adjusting course together. Confirm the specific session formats before booking since the biography does not list formats here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work breaks, avoid travel time, or have shorter check-ins when needed. Some people prefer audio-only sessions when bandwidth is limited or when they do not want to be on camera; others appreciate video for visual connection.
