Hello, my name is Tamara Johnson, I am a licensed clinical social worker licensed in the state of Texas, Mississippi and Tennessee. I graduated from the University of Texas Arlington in 2004. I have over 16 years of experience working with children, adults, families, and Veteran populations.
Several years ago, I experienced some setbacks related to a loss of a long-term relationship which caused lots of grief, financial hardship and multiple stressors including new life as a single parent. I sought counseling to help me through those difficult moments and life transitions.
Life happens and setbacks are often unexpected and can cause an array of emotions and overwhelming thoughts making it difficult to process and return to normal functioning. My goal as a therapist is to help you through those difficult moments and help you find balance in the midst of it.
My approach to therapy is solution focused and person centered using a cognitive behavioral approach. I believe that what we feel and think makes a big difference in the way that we respond. I also believe in meeting the client where they are and using other treatment modalities to meet there needs. I look forward to guiding you on a journey to seek balance and help you live your best life.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
