About Lamara

Lamara Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 18 years of experience supporting people facing a wide range of life challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma and ADHD.

Background and approach

She approaches work from a strengths-focused perspective that highlights clients' existing resources while addressing current difficulties such as grief, substance use, relationship and intimacy concerns, anger, and major life transitions. Her practice blends evidence-based strategies like cognitive behavioral therapy with client-centered and solution-focused principles to tailor care to each person's needs.

Lamara also attends to complex family and interpersonal dynamics, including blended family issues, communication breakdowns, divorce and separation, and multicultural concerns. She works with clients on topics that range from coping and self-esteem to more specific issues such as bipolar mood management, intellectual disability considerations, and problems related to prejudice or discrimination.

Located in Louisiana, Lamara draws on motivational interviewing and mindfulness techniques alongside family-informed approaches to help clients set realistic goals and build practical skills. Her style centers on collaboration, respect, and a focus on strengths so that clients can move forward with greater clarity and resilience.

Evidence-Informed Approaches Delivered Online



Lamara commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve coping. This approach is practical and often helps with anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and many stress-related concerns. She also draws on client-centered therapy, offering an empathetic, nonjudgmental space where the client's own goals and values guide the work; this supports self-esteem, relationship issues, and healing from grief or trauma.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Lamara works with each person to clarify goals, try interventions, and adjust methods based on what feels most useful. That partnership helps tailor techniques to individual needs, preferences, and the specific challenges a person brings, whether the focus is on mood regulation, communication, or ADHD-related coping strategies.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and allows continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult. These formats make it easier to access support from Louisiana-based licensed professionals while maintaining regular contact and building skills between sessions.
