About Preston

Preston Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Mississippi who brings 16 years of post-licensure experience and more than two decades working in mental health.

Background and approach

He trained in psychology at the undergraduate level and completed graduate work in community counseling, then developed a broad clinical background across inpatient and outpatient settings, acute care, K-12 school environments, and adult counseling programs.

Over his career he has provided both group and individual therapy addressing concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting, career challenges, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. His therapeutic stance centers on empathy, tactful honesty, and a grounded positivity that may include light humor when appropriate.

Preston frames therapy as a collaborative process aimed at self-healing and growth, using approaches that emphasize the client’s perspective and practical strategies for change. He describes helping clients clarify goals and navigate life transitions with compassion and clear guidance.

Prospective clients seeking a thoughtful, experience-based counselor in Mississippi may find his blend of warmth and directness a good match.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Preston integrates client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral therapy in his online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening deeply and validating the client's experience to create a collaborative relationship that helps people explore values and goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. He works with clients to consider their needs, preferences, and goals and adjusts techniques over time so therapy fits the person rather than forcing a single method.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for scheduling and accessing care from different locations. These options allow clients to choose how they engage based on comfort and practical constraints, supporting continuity of care and easier integration of therapeutic work into daily life.
