Trenese Johnson, LICSW, LCSW, CSW

Trenese Johnson is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy challenges, trauma and abuse, and grief. She brings 28 years of experience to the work and focuses on helping clients find practical ways forward. She speaks English and practices in Georgia as a DC LICSW and GA LCSW, with additional credential CSW listed. She centers the conversation on each person's story and strengths. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on steps that can change day-to-day life. Trenese aims to make the process clear and direct, using straightforward language rather than jargon. Her style blends talking, skill-building, and attention to how the body holds stress. Cognitive behavioral ideas help identify unhelpful thinking and replace it with workable alternatives. Mindfulness and somatic methods help people notice physical sensations and learn calming practices that fit into daily routines. Trenese also uses solution-focused work to set short-term goals and track progress. That approach keeps sessions practical and oriented toward measurable change. She supports people coping with career strain, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, and issues tied to sexuality and identity. Many clients come seeking relief from depression, anger, or low self-esteem. Others want help with commitment or midlife crossroads. Trenese offers an encouraging, nonjudgmental presence while helping clients try new approaches and make gradual changes.

Approaches you may use in online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's perspective and strengths and helps people set the agenda for what they want to change. It is useful when someone needs a steady, listening presence and guidance tailored to their priorities.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior. It teaches clear, do-able strategies for changing thinking patterns and building new habits, which can help with anxiety, depression, and relationship stress.

Mindfulness therapy trains simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and increase calm. It pairs well with CBT work and with somatic attention to the body when stress shows up physically.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust techniques over time if something isn't helping.
