About Christen
Christen Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She speaks plainly and listens carefully to understand what matters most to each person. Christen focuses on creating a safe space where people can name their challenges and start practical steps toward change.
She uses a mix of approaches to suit different needs, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered methods. Sessions aim to identify what gets in the way of daily functioning and to build skills for managing strong feelings and difficult situations. People learn strategies they can try between sessions to notice thoughts, shift unhelpful patterns, and make values-driven choices.
Christen draws on 12 years of professional experience working with adults across a range of concerns. She adapts conversations and plans to each person rather than following a fixed formula. That means sessions might include problem-solving, mindfulness practice, or short skills coaching depending on the moment.
She also supports people coping with specific stressors such as caregiver strain, chronic illness or pain, blended family tension, and the effects of natural or human-caused disaster. Christen works collaboratively to set realistic goals and check progress in ways that fit everyday life.
To begin, she asks people to share what they hope to change and what has helped before. From there she and the client map out steps that feel doable and relevant to the person’s situation.
How online approaches and methods translate to remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and moving forward after loss or trauma. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and then testing small changes to see what helps. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the therapist follows the client's lead to build insight and self-direction.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Christen works together with each person to decide which methods feel most useful. That may mean trying a skill-based exercise one week and a values-focused conversation the next. The plan evolves based on the client's goals and what actually helps between sessions.
Confirm current session options before booking because the biography does not list specific online formats. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life - for example they can reduce travel time, allow a shorter check-in during a break, or remove the need to be on camera. Licensed professionals can use these flexible arrangements to support ongoing skill practice, check progress, and adapt work to day-to-day challenges.
