About Zakia
Zakia Johnson brings two decades of clinical experience to her practice in Maryland, holding LPC, MD, and LCPC credentials. She has built a career on steady, accountable care and works with individuals through focused counseling to strengthen emotional and behavioral health.
Background and approach
Her intention is to help clients access the resources they need to reach fuller mental, physical, and spiritual well-being while navigating life’s transitions. Her approach emphasizes practical tools and long-term growth, offering individual, small group, and family counseling tailored to each person’s needs.
Zakia frames therapy as a process of planting seeds for future resilience, helping clients develop coping skills that apply across changing circumstances. Areas she addresses include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family challenges, parenting, anger, career concerns, mood disorders, and coping with life changes.
Clients can expect a reliable clinician who focuses on cultivating sustainable progress rather than quick fixes. Her work also attends to related themes such as attachment and abandonment issues, communication and control struggles, postpartum and perinatal concerns, forgiveness, and self-love, always aiming to expand the client’s capacity to thrive.
Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care
Zakia incorporates evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skill development and emotional regulation. One approach helps clients identify patterns in thoughts and behaviors and build practical strategies for managing anxiety, stress, and mood symptoms. Another approach emphasizes processing trauma and difficult experiences in a paced, supportive way to reduce their ongoing impact on daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative work. The therapist will discuss options, listen to the client’s goals and preferences, and tailor methods so they match the individual’s needs rather than applying a single technique to every situation.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into a busy life or to continue care from different locations within Maryland. These formats allow for regular check-ins, practice of new skills between sessions, and ongoing support while accommodating varied schedules and comfort levels.
