About Taij

Taij Johnson is a licensed counselor who brings a client-centered foundation to his work, drawing on seven years of clinical experience and a variety of therapeutic methods.

Background and approach

He earned a master’s degree in counseling and holds the credentials LPC and LCMHC, practicing in North Carolina while accepting international clients. His background includes work in group homes, assisted living, school-based high-risk intervention, and protective services, which informs a practical, grounded approach to care.

Across his practice, he integrates cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, narrative and psychodynamic ideas to tailor support to each person’s needs. Taij focuses on a broad range of concerns including ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, stress, self-esteem, and career matters.

He also works with topics such as caregiving stress, chronic illness, body image, and blended family or family-of-origin dynamics. Taij emphasizes meeting clients where they are and collaborating on goals that promote coping and growth.

Sessions are offered through multiple online formats so that clients can access care that fits their schedule, and the subscription-based scheduling model allows flexibility according to therapist availability.

Integrating therapeutic approaches for online support



Taij frequently incorporates client-centered therapy, which centers the client's perspective and priorities so that the work unfolds at a pace and direction the client chooses. This approach is helpful for building rapport, exploring values, and shaping goals that feel personally meaningful. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying practical exercises to change behavior and mood; CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related strategies, and stress management. Mindfulness therapy is another tool in his practice, offering attention and awareness exercises that can reduce reactivity and improve coping with strong emotions.

Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques and adapt the approach over time so it fits the client's needs. This flexibility helps clients try approaches and adjust based on what proves most helpful.

Online therapy with Taij uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, provide options for different communication styles, and allow ongoing contact when in-person visits are impractical. Licensed professionals can use these tools to deliver structured interventions, skills training, and reflective conversation across distance.
