Trenese Johnson, LICSW, LCSW, CSW

Trenese Johnson is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Georgia with 28 years of professional experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, and anger. Trenese approaches work in a straightforward way and focuses on practical steps clients can use right away.

She starts by listening and helping people describe what is happening in their life. She treats the client as the expert on their experience and builds on existing strengths. Sessions often include goal-setting and straightforward strategies to reduce reactivity and manage daily pressures.

Trenese uses a mix of methods depending on what the person needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and change them. Mindfulness techniques support grounding and noticing emotions without getting swept up in them. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the conversation focused on the person’s priorities.

When anger or resentment shows up, she helps people notice triggers, manage physical sensations, and practice responses that maintain important relationships. For trauma and abuse, the work moves at a pace set by the client and often integrates body-focused, somatic practices to address how stress shows up in the body.

Her approach is practical and collaborative. She aims to help clients set realistic short-term goals and develop skills they can use between sessions. Trenese speaks English and works with adult clients in Georgia.
