About Taij

Taij Johnson is an LPC, Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with seven years of clinical experience. He focuses on anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, grief, and a wide range of stress-related issues. He also works with people on eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and intimacy-related or career challenges.

Before getting his MA in Counseling, he worked in direct care roles in group homes and assisted living, and as a high-risk intervention technician in schools. He also spent time as a Protective Services social worker. Those early roles shaped how he approaches practical problems and crisis moments.

Taij uses a client-centered stance and draws on several methods to help people notice patterns and try new responses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) appears in his approach and is used alongside mindfulness, motivational interviewing, narrative techniques, and psychodynamic ideas. Sessions focus on concrete strategies and on talking through feelings and behaviors that maintain problems.

He aims to work collaboratively to set clear goals and to build small, testable changes. That can mean identifying unhelpful thoughts, practicing different reactions, and tracking progress between meetings. He also brings attention to life context like caregiving demands, chronic health issues, or relationship stress when those affect mood and functioning.

Taij sees therapy as a practical process. He helps people sort priorities, try specific tools, and adjust plans based on what works. He accepts international clients and conducts work in English.

CBT, Client-Centered Work, and Online Access

Taij uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to break down how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors keep problems going and to test concrete changes. CBT sessions often include identifying specific thought patterns, trying behavioral experiments, and practicing skills between meetings.

He also draws from client-centered therapy, which prioritizes listening and following the person’s concerns to set practical goals. Mindfulness therapy appears in his work as well, with short attention and breathing practices that help reduce stress and improve focus in daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit the goals and preferences. That means checking in about what feels useful, trying different techniques, and adjusting the plan as progress is tracked.

The biography does not list specific online session formats. Confirm current session options before booking so you know whether video, phone, or other formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, caregiving, or medical needs, and they can allow shorter check-ins or scheduling across time zones when that helps.
