About Tina
Tina Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with nine years of clinical experience based in Mississippi. She lists anger, stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, grief, self-esteem, workplace issues, and related challenges among the concerns she supports.
She works in a straightforward, listening-first style. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can try between meetings. She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness practices to address patterns that feed anger, control issues, guilt and shame, and forgiveness struggles.
In the room she prioritizes active listening and clear goals. Conversations identify triggers and repeated responses, then map small changes to interrupt those patterns. She emphasizes self-determination and building skills that help people manage strong feelings without blaming them for having them.
Tina draws on life experience as well as clinical practice. She has handled work with adults who present with trauma, domestic abuse history, parenting strain, and workplace stress. That background informs concrete problem-solving for topics like setting boundaries, reducing reactive responses, and rebuilding trust with others.
People looking to address anger or persistent frustration can expect a practical approach that blends talk work with exercises. She asks clients to try new skills between sessions and then reviews what worked and what didn’t to refine the plan together.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them. It emphasizes choosing actions that match personal values even when emotions run high, which can help with anger and regret. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful thinking and reduce reactive behavior. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention to bring awareness to bodily cues and early anger signals so a different response can be chosen.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions begin with clear goals and she revisits those goals over time to adjust methods based on what helps in day-to-day life.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats she offers. Online therapy can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, to fit sessions into a workday, or to avoid travel time. Those practical benefits often help people keep consistent appointments while learning new skills for managing anger and stress.
