Taij Johnson, LPC, LCMHC

Taij Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with seven years of experience. He works with adults on concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and codependency. He also addresses ADHD, stress, career questions, and problems with sleep and eating.

Johnson began helping people early, working as a personal care worker in group homes and assisted living. He later served as a high risk intervention technician in schools and as a Protective Services social worker. Those hands-on roles shaped how he approaches therapy and how he listens to practical daily struggles.

He completed a Master of Arts in Counseling and holds the LPC and LCMHC credentials listed above. In sessions he follows a client-centered stance, centering what the person brings rather than forcing one plan. He blends approaches so the work can focus on thoughts, patterns, and immediate behavior changes when useful.

When someone is stuck in people-pleasing or losing themselves in relationships, he helps name the patterns and try small, testable steps. He works on setting boundaries, managing strong emotions, and building clearer communication. Therapy sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on everyday changes you can try between meetings.

Johnson draws on CBT to address unhelpful thinking and behavior. He also uses mindfulness practices to help with stress and grounding, and narrative techniques to reframe how someone tells their own story. He expects the work to be collaborative and practical, with attention to real-life routines and responsibilities.
