About Taij

Taij Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina. He brings seven years of experience in mental health and counseling to sessions. Taij focuses on helping people cope with life changes, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief, and trauma. He aims to meet each person where they are and build practical steps forward.

Taij's early work began at the entry level in high school and included roles as a personal care worker in group homes and assisted living. He also supported students as a high risk intervention technician and later served as a Protective Services social worker. Those hands-on roles shaped how he works today and influence his day-to-day approach.

After earning a MA in Counseling, he completed licensure as an LCMHC and LPC. He uses a client-centered stance in session, meaning the person's goals guide the work. Taij also draws on cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and narrative approaches to tailor support to each situation.

In practice he keeps conversations direct and practical. He helps people talk through parenting stress, career doubts, body image and eating concerns, ADHD-related struggles, and issues around intimacy and attachment. He also supports those coping with chronic illness, caregiving stress, and life events like separation or bereavement.

Taij works in English and accepts international clients. Prospective clients should use the site process to begin - complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How Taij Uses Practical Approaches in Online Therapy

Taij commonly draws on client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness methods to guide online sessions. Client-centered work means the session focuses on the person's goals and what matters most to them. CBT involves identifying thought and behavior patterns and testing small changes to reduce distress. Mindfulness practices teach attention skills that help with stress, anxiety, and staying grounded during life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Taij will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods together. He aims to match techniques to each person's needs, adjusting as progress or challenges emerge in therapy.

The practical benefits of online therapy often include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life. Online work can reduce travel time and make it simpler to keep appointments around work or caregiving. Because specific session formats were not listed in the biography, confirm available options before booking so you know how sessions will be held. Many people find that remote sessions make regular work on stress, relationships, and life transitions easier to maintain.
