About Taij
Taij Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor. He brings seven years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. He aims to create straightforward, practical sessions that focus on what a person needs right now.
He begins by listening to how a client describes their situation. He uses a client-centered stance, which means sessions follow the person's pace and priorities.
Background and approach
Taij pairs that with cognitive-behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes that make daily life easier. His background includes hands-on roles in group homes, assisted living, school-based intervention, and protective services. Those jobs shaped a down-to-earth approach to care and an ability to work with many different life situations.
He earned a master's degree in counseling before obtaining licensure as an LCMHC and LPC. In sessions he also draws on mindfulness and narrative techniques to help people notice patterns and tell clearer stories about themselves. Motivational interviewing is used when someone wants help making changes but feels stuck or unsure where to begin.
The goal is steady progress rather than dramatic overnight shifts. Taij offers online options from his practice in North Carolina and works with people in English. He helps people cope with life changes, manage anxiety and stress, address trauma and grief, and work on self-esteem, career concerns, or relationship and intimacy issues.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Taij often uses client-centered therapy to shape sessions around each person's needs. That approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and following what matters most to the client, which can be especially helpful when working through anxiety, grief, or relationship concerns.He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a practical method that links thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try simple experiments or behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Taij will discuss options, try methods that fit a client's goals, and adjust techniques based on what helps. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions can shift when something does or does not feel useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper connection, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging provides quick check-ins or brief coaching between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to continue care across locations.
