Thomas Johnson is a licensed clinical social worker in Alabama (AL LICSW 0728c) with 51 years of experience. After graduating from the University of Alabama School of Social Work in 1973, he began his clinical practice in a psychiatric in-patient facility providing counseling to individuals with chronic mental health issues.
In 1977 he accepted a clinical social worker position with the Department of Veterans Affairs and served as part of an inter-disciplinary team offering outpatient mental health assessment and treatment to veterans and their family members. Over the next 43 years he provided both individual and group counseling to thousands of veterans, male and female, for both combat and non-combat related concerns.
He currently provides counseling for a broad range of adjustment issues, including anxiety, depression, substance abuse, marital and family dysfunction, and other life adjustments affecting quality of life. Thomas maintains a flexible approach to treatment, aiming first to establish empathy and trust through a non-judgmental stance. He uses various treatment modalities as appropriate and keeps the client’s input central, recognizing that clients best understand what is working in their therapy. He is available to discuss options to help people move in a constructive direction for their lives.
Many people wonder whether online therapy truly helps. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is the flexibility it provides. Individuals can connect with a therapist in the format that suits them best - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. That adaptability can make it simpler to incorporate therapy into a busy schedule.
Licensed professionals provide online therapy, and if a different match is desired, clients can switch therapists. For many people facing everyday mental health challenges, online therapy offers an accessible and practical option to get support.
