My name is Vivian E. Johnson, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist. I predominately utilize the psychodynamic approach. I work with individuals, families, and couples experiencing anxiety, depression, disruptive behaviors, relationship challenges, self-esteem issues, and trauma. I help clients recognize their recurring unhelpful thought, emotional and behavioral patterns, and the defense mechanisms they've developed to avoid distress and cope with stress. This insight may allow them to begin changing those patterns and develop more helpful and healthier ways to cope with life stressors. I work with individuals, families, and couples. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, disruptive behaviors, relationship challenges, self-esteem issues, and trauma. I strive to create a safe non-judgmental space in order to build a rapport and therapeutic alliance. I utilize active reflective listening and open-ended questions as I gather information from the client's history and story.
