About Trenese

Trenese Johnson is a licensed social worker in Georgia with 28 years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, trauma, intimacy concerns, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She approaches each person with a respect for their lived experience and a belief that clients already carry strengths that can be tapped to address lifes challenges. Trenese frames therapy as a collaborative process that begins when someone chooses to pursue a more satisfying or balanced life and is ready to take that first step.

Her practice blends evidence-based tools and client-driven exploration, drawing on cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness practices, somatic awareness, and solution-focused techniques to tailor support to individual needs. Trenese works from a compassionate stance that validates the difficulty of change while offering practical, skills-oriented options to manage symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.

She aims to support growth in areas such as career concerns, addiction, self-esteem, coping with major life transitions, and relationship or intimacy difficulties. Trenese holds the credentials LICSW, LCSW, and CSW and practices in Georgia.

Approach-Focused Care Delivered Online

Trenese draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based approaches to guide online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and offers practical strategies to test and change those patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and problem solving. Mindfulness therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and stress-management skills, offering ways to reduce reactivity and increase emotional regulation in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process, and Trenese treats this as a collaborative exploration. She will work with each person to identify goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful and effective for the client's needs and preferences.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for differing schedules and comfort levels. These formats allow clients to access consistent therapeutic support from licensed professionals while fitting sessions around work, caregiving, or other life demands, helping make ongoing progress more manageable.
