About Johnna
Johnna Turnage is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPC) licensed in Tennessee and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) licensed in Kentucky with 20 years of experience.

She has also provided non medical military family life counseling. This range means she is used to short-term skills work and longer conversations about life changes.
In sessions she is interactive and direct. She focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and changing responses to them. That can look like setting small goals, trying new coping skills, and checking what worked at the next meeting.
Johnna often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas alongside client-centered and emotionally-focused methods. She integrates motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques when people need clear plans or extra encouragement.
She has worked with children, adults aged 18 to 54, and senior adults. Her practice includes people from many backgrounds and orientations. For someone who wants concrete strategies and regular feedback, she lays out steps and tracks progress over time.
How her approaches fit with online sessions
Johnna commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. Client-Centered Therapy centers on clear, nonjudgmental listening and reflecting so clients can clarify what matters to them. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name strong emotions and practice different ways of responding when relationships or family stress are involved.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each client to decide which methods to try first based on goals and preferences. That may mean using CBT techniques for mood and anxiety, then adding emotionally-focused or motivational techniques as needed.
