About Tiawna
Tiawna Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on anxiety and related concerns and aims to help people who feel stuck or overwhelmed. Tiawna approaches each person as the expert of their own life.
She looks for strengths clients can use to make meaningful change. Her work often centers on stress, anxiety, and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms.
Background and approach
She also supports people navigating trauma and abuse, post-traumatic stress, dissociation, and compassion fatigue. Relationship and intimacy issues, questions around sexual identity and LGBT concerns, plus alternatives like polyamory and kink are also within her focus. Tiawna uses client-centered and solution-focused methods to keep sessions practical and grounded.
She listens first and helps clients set clear, achievable goals. When trauma is part of the picture she brings trauma-focused approaches to address safety, coping, and processing at a pace the client chooses. In sessions she aims to create a respectful space that highlights each person’s resilience.
Conversations include brainstorming next steps, trying small changes, and checking what works. The therapist supports clients through real life transitions and addiction challenges while helping them build better day-to-day coping. Tiawna works in English and provides online options such as video and phone sessions, chat, and messaging.

How these approaches work online and what to expect
Tiawna draws on client-centered methods that focus on the individual's experience and goals. This approach means sessions begin with listening and working from the client's priorities, helping people identify their own solutions and strengths.She also uses solution-focused therapy to break big problems into small, doable steps. That method helps when someone needs quick, practical changes for stress, anxiety, or life transitions. Trauma-focused therapy is used when past harm affects daily life; it emphasizes safety, building coping skills, and processing traumatic memories at a manageable pace.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try methods that fit the client's needs, and adjust as progress is made. Goals and preferences guide which techniques are emphasized, and the plan can change over time.
Online sessions offer flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are options for quick updates, journaling between sessions, or when written reflection feels easier. These formats help people fit therapy into busy routines and varied schedules.
