About Desiree

Desiree Johnson is an LPC based in Texas who supports people navigating stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, relationship challenges, ADHD, grief, trauma, parenting struggles, career concerns, and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

She brings four years of clinical experience and a background in marriage and family therapy to her work, helping clients clarify their needs and move toward practical goals. Her practice also addresses attachment issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, narcissism, and women's issues.

Desiree uses an integrative style that blends evidence-based tools with the client’s lived experience. She draws from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Gottman Method, and client-centered principles to create interactive sessions tailored to each person.

Sessions often mix skill-building, values work, and relational insight so that clients leave with concrete strategies as well as deeper understanding. She encourages collaboration and welcomes people who are ready to take the next step toward change.

Approaches that inform online care



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages clients to clarify personal values and take committed action even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings arise; it can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and motivation-related struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical skills to change mood and behavior, which is often useful for depression, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses within close relationships to improve connection and reduce distress in partnerships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Desiree works with clients to explore which methods feel most helpful, combining techniques when appropriate and adjusting strategies based on individual goals, preferences, and progress. The first sessions often involve assessing needs and deciding together which tools to prioritize.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and for people who prefer remote care. Services are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the format that best fits their day-to-day life and comfort level. These options make it easier to maintain continuity and practice skills between meetings while staying connected to a licensed professional.
