About Trenese
Trenese Johnson is a licensed clinical social worker with 28 years of experience helping people face stress and anxiety. She focuses on everyday struggles like relationship tension, grief, intimacy issues, and the fallout from trauma and abuse.

She listens first and asks simple questions to clarify what matters most. Sessions often center on clear goals and steps that feel doable between meetings.
Background and approach
Trenese uses plain language and short-term strategies alongside deeper exploration when it helps. Her background includes long-term clinical practice in Georgia, where she has supported people across a wide range of concerns. That experience informs how she shapes sessions for different needs, from managing panic to repairing trust after infidelity.
Trenese draws on several approaches to match the person in front of her. She uses Client-Centered work to focus on the person’s experience, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thinking, and Somatic methods when the body holds stress. Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques are woven in to help with coping and quick problem solving.
Sessions are offered in English and available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. She works with adults on issues such as career strain, addiction, ADHD, caregiving stress, and sexual or identity-related concerns. The first steps are a short questionnaire and scheduling a session that fits the person’s routine.
How these approaches shape online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities, so sessions begin with the therapist listening and following the client’s lead to set meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Somatic Therapy brings attention to body sensations and simple body-based practices when stress shows up physically, which can help with trauma-related symptoms and chronic tension.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan over time. That way the work stays focused on what helps each person feel steadier and more capable in daily life.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and exercises that involve observing body language, while phone calls need less bandwidth and can be a good check-in. Chat and messaging let people send short updates, try brief coaching, or fit therapy into a work break. These options make it simpler to keep momentum between sessions and to practice new skills in real situations.
