About Kianni
Kianni Johnson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who helps people manage anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, anger, relationship problems, and depression. She writes in plain terms and offers steady, practical support for day-to-day struggles. Her approach centers on listening and making a plan that fits each person's life.
In sessions she focuses on real concerns that come up at home, work, or in relationships. She uses talk, problem-solving, and skills practice so people can try things between meetings.
Background and approach
Kianni pays attention to patterns like codependency, control issues, and attachment concerns that often fuel repeated frustrations. Her training and six years of clinical experience give her a background in several therapeutic approaches.
She draws on client-centered methods that put the person's perspective first, cognitive behavioral tools to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Kianni also addresses complicated mood concerns such as disruptive mood dysregulation symptoms, impulsivity, jealousy, and issues tied to guilt or shame.
She works with people on forgiveness, self-love, and healing after infidelity or betrayal. Sessions are offered in English and are scheduled around each person's needs. She aims to help people build practical skills they can use right away and grow stronger over time.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own experience and priorities, giving space for someone to tell their story and guide the pace of work. It is useful when a person needs a respectful, nonjudgmental place to make sense of feelings and choices.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses practical exercises and homework to help reduce anxiety, shift negative thinking, and change behaviors that keep problems going.
Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions and handling crises without making the situation worse. It can be helpful for people who struggle with impulsivity, anger, or intense mood swings.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences and adjust as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and practicing skills together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text allow brief check-ins, quick support between appointments, or a way to fit therapy into a busy schedule. These options help people access consistent, ongoing support from licensed professionals without rearranging their whole day.
