Areeba has been of great help to me. She truly listens and offers activities and materials that allows me to tackle the issues I have, better understand my feelings and emotions, and encourages me to be introspective while understanding that although life will have ups and downs and times where we're overwhelmed, it's how we react that matters.

Areeba is such a great therapist. Something that’s been missing in my therapist journey is someone who’s able to collate all my concerns and draw patterns, so I’m identifying issues and making progress holistically. I think I can achieve that with Areeba

My name is Areeba Johnson, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to transforming lives. I have over 15 years of experience working in the mental health community. I graduated from Barry University in 2013 with a Masters in Social Work.
My experience includes providing individual and group therapy, working with children, youth and families. I have worked in a variety of therapeutic settings for a wide range of issues from depression, anxiety, domestic violence, addiction, and child abuse.
I have training in the following evidence best practices: Nurturing Parenting, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused, Trauma Informed Care, Florida Coalition Against Domestic Violence and Moral Reconation Therapy.
Being raised in a Caribbean household, I understand how culture often plays a role in how we process and heal from trauma. Making the decision to receive counseling can be challenging that requires a level of vulnerability and transparency. My goal is to provide a safe space, to be supportive, honest and open, in helping you to meet your personal goal.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
