I am Karen Johnston, a Resident in Counseling (RIC) working towards full licensure as an LPC with over 6 years of experience. I am passionate about helping people and couples of all ages and backgrounds address challenges and trauma they may have faced in the past or are currently facing. I specialize in anxiety, grief, trauma, depression, behavioral problems, and relationship issues.
I completed my Master's degree in Counseling at Regent University. I am a former military spouse with experience navigating military life. I utilize an eclectic approach to therapy and incorporate multiple treatment methods such as mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and trauma-informed techniques.
I will support you and partner with you as you gain new insights and perspectives, which will help you develop new strategies to cope with whatever you are facing. If you are ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing, schedule an appointment with me today.
