About Heather
Heather Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with three years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, depression, and motivation problems. Her work also covers grief, life changes, intimacy-related issues, anger, career concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coaching-related goals.
Heather frames clients as the experts on their own lives and looks for practical ways to make small changes that add up. She uses clear steps in sessions so people can notice unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. Sessions are focused and geared toward solving immediate problems and building skills people can use between meetings.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns that keep problems going. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help clarify what someone wants to change and Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals and track progress. Those methods are used in straightforward, goal-oriented talks rather than long exploratory work.
Heather encourages people who feel stuck to try specific, manageable experiments between sessions. She pays attention to communication problems and family-related stress and offers coaching-style support when clients want more direction on next steps. People in midlife transitions or dealing with women’s issues can expect focused, practical sessions.
Her practice operates from Florida and sessions are conducted in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.
How her approaches translate to online care
Heather uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns of thinking that contribute to anxiety and depression, then tries small experiments to test new ways of responding. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify goals and find internal reasons to change, useful for issues like motivation, career shifts, or managing mood. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on practical next steps and measurable goals so progress can be tracked session to session.Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work together. Heather will discuss goals, preferences, and the issues at hand and then suggest methods to try. Clients and the therapist decide collaboratively which techniques to emphasize and they adjust the plan as needed based on what helps.
Confirm current session options before booking to know what online formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can use that time for work or family responsibilities. They can also let someone choose sessions that focus on skills practice or on problem-solving conversations without committing to long-term exploratory therapy.
