More about Willie

Hello, my name is Willie Johnson, MSW, LCSW- Thank You for considering my services...
I am a licensed clinical social worker in Las Vegas, NV, with over 30 years of experience working with individuals, couples, families, groups who are dealing with anger, trauma, attachment issues, depression, anxiety, panic attacks and other mood disorders. It’s extremely important for patients to realize and distinguish the difference between their original true personality and their bodies, feelings, thoughts, and emotions. In other words, YOU ARE NOT YOUR BODY, YOU ARE NOT YOUR FEELINGS, YOU ARE NOT YOUR EMOTIONS! You are not what you feel nor think. True, you do have feelings, thoughts and emotions, but you are not them.
Within this therapeutic relationship, you will learn, recognize, and identify the secondary emotions and personalities that’s trying to manipulate, control and change your character and personality. You will also learn how to release yourself from the pain and guilt of harm done to you or the harm you have done to others or even to yourself. Our goals in therapy is not just to cope or manage these emotional concerns, but to completely get rid of and totally destroy them out of your life. Through self-reflection, therapy will help develop your capacity to be more self-aware, recognize and challenge negative thoughts and build towards a more safe and healthy life functioning.
I believe that prioritizing your mental health is an investment in self; it is an active step towards your healing journey.
"Four Stages To Your Emotional Health & Healing"
1. Love Everybody,
2. Forgive Everybody,
3. Respect Everybody &
4. Be Kind To Everybody -- Starting With Yourself.
I look forward to working with you.

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.

Overall rating:
Mr Johnson has been great, he responds in a timely manner, takes the time to check in on me several times a week. That alone has been invaluable.
I enjoyed my first session and look forward to continue working with Mr. Johnson.
Willie Johnson has helped me unleash new strengths that I had the whole time but didn’t know how to apply them in my day to day life. This other side feels so real, new mindset and perception .Never been so easy to deal and cope with different experiences . Happiness has to start from within before extending it without… beautiful journey. So encouraged, Willie speaks to you like a baby and breaks down every single word until it makes meaning, from how he elaborates and keenly listens. I greatly recommend him
Definitely the best !
Good guy who knows the Bible and how to break things down so anyone could understand.
Willie Johnson is an amazing therapist. He diagnosed the root cause of my issues and worked patiently with me in not only renewing my mind, but also growing more in my faith. He is a solid man of God and if you’re looking to grow in your love for God, he is the best therapist to have! He set me on a good path that can continue on my own, but I’m choosing continue sessions with him for a little bit because each conversation brings revival to my entire being: soul, body and spirit. If you are a non-christian, don’t worry! Brother Willie will meet you were you are and get you were you want to be in no time. I have much love for him and I pray that God grants him longevity to continue these good works—because many people need to hear his healing counsel fuelled up by the living Words of God!
Willie is so understanding and knows how to meet me where I’m at. He checks on me and is so encouraging.
Very easy to talk to.
Greatly appreciate this excellent individual, very beneficial time.
Willie does a good job!
Willie has been a great resourse for me since I started with him. He is greatly appreciated.
Willie is very knowledgeable and understanding. He’s an expert in his field
This is my second time utilizing this platform. I had a slight relapse and hopped on the platform looking for a Christian therapist. In the first session, Willie got to the root cause and in the following sessions, gave me the “why” and “how” to stay on course. I would highly recommend Willie, he has a unique way of showing you the “why” of what you’re experiencing. I felt heard, I felt safe, I felt like I belonged.
Willie Johnson has helped me in so many ways. I’d highly recommend anyone that’s dealing with any sort of trauma. He is very versatile and can help overcome any circumstances that life has to offer.
This man helped me navigate my course in life by a few degrees West and motivated me into hoisting my life’s anchor day by day.
Saved me !
Knew exactly how to help from our first sit down together! Benefitting everyday for the rest of my life from the help I received from Willie Johnson!
Great leadership! I appreciate him
This brother is a spiritual warrior. He asks questions, listens and leads me right into the bible to find the answers to my concerns. He’s passionate about saving souls by drawing on the power of the holy living spirit of Jesus Christ. I am so thankful for this brother and I highly recommend Willie Johnson as a true professional consultant in his career. Love you brother and may God bless you abundantly.
Willie Johnson is a good therapist and counselor. He has a strong Christian background and he is also able to relate and help those with non Christian backgrounds.

The man is an amazing bastion of positivity, motivation and clarity. He is big on clarity and gives you tools to fight off all the negativity and all the challenges of daily life.
Mr. Johnson provided much needed guidance and support during a very difficult and distressing period of my life. I have had several occasions to seek therapy over the past thirty years. He is one of the best! It is so nice to feel heared and encouraged to move forward with a better perspective and outlook. I was creating barriers to my own happiness. Thank you so much Mr Johnson.
Willie has honestly been such a great help. He’s a great listener, therapist and overall a kind hearted person. He is a man of God and will steer you in the right head space mentally to help you move forward. He is the kind of therapist to be consistent and will genuinely be there for you; the kind of therapist that will leave you feeling like yourself again.
He is the best! The underlying message is to stay focused and be loving.

When I signed up for help, I was very guarded and felt like it would be difficult to open up to a stranger. Immediately, Willie was welcoming and made this entire experience very worthwhile. I feel like I can express my concerns, am heard and receive timely input from him. I am very grateful for his time and expertise
It took three attempts to connect with a therapist that worked for me and I'm glad I stuck with it. Willie helps me be the me I want to be. Love everyone. Forgive everyone.
