About Johanna

Johanna Lea is an LCSW based in Oklahoma who builds therapy around each person's needs and circumstances.

Background and approach

With 11 years of clinical experience, she draws on a broad background in psychotherapy, including trauma-informed work and play therapy techniques used with children and adolescents, while also spending recent years focusing on older adults and women.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and challenges with sleep or eating. She blends client-centered principles with evidence-based methods like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to create practical coping strategies and emotional skills.

Johanna aims to meet clients where they are, helping them clarify goals and build concrete tools for managing mood, relationships, career stress, parenting demands, and self-esteem struggles. Sessions emphasize collaboration, respectful listening, and tailoring interventions to each person's goals and life stage.

Therapy is offered in flexible online formats that fit varied schedules and preferences. Johanna approaches each referral with an emphasis on understanding the whole person and working together to create meaningful, sustainable change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care That Fit Your Life

Client-centered therapy emphasizes a collaborative, empathic relationship where the person’s priorities guide the work; it helps people feel heard and supported while they identify goals and make changes. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, or difficulties with sleep and eating. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that can be useful for intense emotions, relationship challenges, and coping under pressure.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and the therapist works together with each client to determine which combination of techniques best matches their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process allows adjustments over time so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it simpler to fit consistent care into busy lives, maintain momentum between sessions, and access support from home or other convenient locations while working toward meaningful change.
