About Trenese
Trenese Johnson is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Georgia with 28 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related issues. Her work also addresses grief, career questions, addictions, LGBT concerns, parenting strains, anger, self-esteem, and depression.
She approaches sessions from a practical, person-focused stance. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and draws on their strengths to test new ways of thinking and acting. Conversations are direct and aimed at noticing unhelpful patterns and trying small changes between meetings.
Her methods include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, client-centered practices that listen for what matters to each person, mindfulness techniques to increase present-moment awareness, and somatic work to connect bodily responses with emotional patterns. She also uses solution-focused ideas to set short-term, concrete goals.
Sessions typically look like focused talk, clear behavioral experiments, and simple skill-building exercises to practice between appointments. The emphasis is on tools that can be used right away to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.
People who come to her often want concrete steps more than long explanations. She supports practical problem solving while also attending to emotions that come up during the work. To begin, clients follow the site process to match and schedule a first appointment.
How her approaches translate to online work
She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this often involves practical worksheets, activity scheduling, and step-by-step experiments to try between sessions. Client-Centered Therapy provides space to focus on what the person says matters most and guides the pace of work based on individual priorities. Mindfulness Therapy offers short attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of bodily sensations.Choosing the right approach is part of the collaboration. She will review goals and preferences with each person and recommend a mix of methods to test. Progress is checked with concrete tasks and adjustments are made when something is not working well.
