Jennifer Johnson

Jennifer Johnson helps people navigate the everyday stresses and larger life challenges that can make daily living feel overwhelming. She works with individuals and couples facing anxiety, depression, significant life changes, questions of sexual identity, relationship struggles, trauma, and addiction, offering a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where vulnerability and authenticity are invited.

Therapy with Jennifer blends encouragement with the practical support clients often need to move forward; she creates an environment that welcomes honesty while also providing gentle momentum when change is required. She practices in Utah as a licensed clinical social worker and brings 31 years of experience in social work to her clinical work.

Jennifer earned two undergraduate degrees from the University of Utah and a Master of Social Work from Smith College, and she also teaches at the college level. Having lived across the United States, she has worked with diverse populations and continues to welcome a wide range of clients.

Her clinical specialty includes relationship work and sexual wellness for individuals and couples. She supports clients with intimacy issues, infidelity, communication challenges, concerns about sexual pleasure, sexual function and dysfunction, sexual variation, questions of sexuality and gender identity, and changes in sexual functioning across the lifespan. Jennifer’s approach is tailored to each person and often eclectic - drawing on her early psychodynamic training in Object Relations and on modalities she now emphasizes, including Attachment-Based Therapy, Relational Life Therapy, and Emotionally Focused Therapy. Across all work she brings empathy, compassion, and equanimity to the therapeutic relationship.
