Emily Johnson, LPC

Emily Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and depression. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps parents and individuals can use right away. Emily emphasizes the client’s strengths and respects each person’s story when planning care.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and trauma-focused approaches to match methods to goals. Sessions center on learning skills for managing strong feelings, changing unhelpful thoughts, and building routines that reduce overwhelm. Emily also works with concerns around eating, body image, obsessions and compulsions, phobias, and social anxiety.

Emily has worked in the field for 10 years and uses short, clear tools you can try between sessions. She aims to make sessions straightforward so parents can fit them into busy schedules. Progress is measured in small, practical steps rather than rushed promises.

Therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to give flexibility in how people connect. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location and therapist availability.

To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules based on therapist availability. Emily then collaborates with the client to set goals and choose approaches that feel most useful.

How Emily Uses Practical Approaches in Online Therapy

Emily integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety or depression. ACT teaches people to notice painful thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match personal values.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotional regulation or intense reactions are part of the concern. DBT offers concrete tools for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clearer communication during high-stress moments. Together these approaches help with trauma reactions, persistent anxiety, body image concerns, and compulsive patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Emily works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s needs and goals. She checks in regularly and adjusts techniques to match progress and preferences so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat or messaging supports brief check-ins, skill practice between sessions, or times when a written exchange is easier. These choices aim to make therapy flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
