About
Carol Johnson is a California-based therapist with 27 years of professional experience who works with clients of all ages on a wide range of concerns. She enjoys supporting couples and individuals who are struggling in their relationships or who are facing challenges with motivation, confidence, or self-esteem.
Her particular area of expertise is grief and loss, developed after she spent 20 years directing a bereavement program following the death of her young husband. That long-term work has informed her clinical approach and deepened her understanding of loss.
Carol is also an art therapist and incorporates art-based options into therapy for clients who are interested in expressive methods. She believes that each person’s life story brings strengths that can help them move through difficult times, and she recognizes the courage it takes to begin therapy. Carol supports people who take that first step toward change.
She is licensed in California as a marriage and family therapist (license number 37585) and brings a professional yet approachable style to her work with clients navigating life transitions and emotional challenges.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?
Many people wonder whether virtual therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been found to be as effective as traditional in-person care for most people.
A major benefit is flexibility - clients can connect in the way that suits them best, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to choose the mode of communication that feels most comfortable.
Therapists who offer online services are licensed professionals, and clients are able to request a different therapist at any time if they prefer another fit. Online therapy can be a practical option for people seeking accessible, consistent support for everyday mental health concerns.
