Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

My name is Matthew Johnson III, LCSW BACS. I have been a social worker for 24 years. I’ve been an LCSW for 20 year. My experiences are in addictions and bereavement, which help me to work with anxiety, depression, PTSD, Trauma, and family issues. My approach is a client centered approach, and I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with a process oriented clinical environment to allow you to feel comfortable expressing your feelings, having your thoughts and feelings validated and then getting constructive feedback, by working collaboratively with you to help you resolve your current struggles. Our sessions will also help you to grow emotionally by learning to process your negative feelings appropriately, learn better coping strategies to help you thrive and most importantly to help you in your the process of transformation. This is becoming the person that you want to be. I have experience working with individuals, couples and families. As you learn to change how you think, feel and act, you will change yourself and hence change your world for the better. I look forward to working with you to help accomplish your life goals.

Is Online Therapy the Right Choice for Your Mental Health Journey?

For many common difficulties – including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and major life transitions – online therapy has been found to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person care. It can be a practical option for addressing these concerns with a licensed professional.

One of the primary advantages of online therapy is flexibility. Clients can choose the mode of connection that fits their life and comfort level – video appointments, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – which can make it easier to maintain consistent care.

Therapists offering online services are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change providers if they decide a different fit would be better. For many people, online work provides an accessible path to professional support for everyday mental health and relationship challenges.
