Carolyn Johnsone

Carolyn uses a strengths-based, solution-focused approach that empowers clients to recognize their resilience and build meaningful, lasting change. She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness, and trauma-focused techniques—including components of EMDR—to help clients manage anxiety, depression, anger, grief, life transitions, ADHD-related challenges, and substance use concerns. In addition to therapy, Carolyn provides coaching, advocacy, parenting support, adoption support, and guidance through the special education process—helping families.

Carolyn strives to create a safe, collaborative space where clients feel heard, validated, and supported. She works best with individuals who are open to growth, willing to build trust, and ready to explore change—even when transitions feel uncertain. Whether you are seeking validation, psychoeducation, or structured guidance.

Her background spans mental health, child welfare, addiction recovery, aging services, special education, and veteran support—allowing her to meet clients at many different stages of life.
