About Lamara
Lamara Johnson, LCSW, helps adults feeling overwhelmed by stress, parenting pressures, or relationship strain. She speaks plainly and listens closely to what matters most to each person. Her approach is practical and focused on what can change now.
She draws on 18 years of experience supporting people with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, anger, and addictions. Lamara also works with clients facing intimate relationship concerns, communication problems, divorce and separation, blended family challenges, and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
She pays attention to cultural and identity factors, including LGBT and multicultural concerns. In sessions she uses methods that help people notice patterns, try small changes, and build on strengths. Lamara often uses cognitive behavioral ideas to shift unhelpful thinking and solution-focused steps to create quick, manageable goals.
She also uses client-centered listening to make space for what feels most important to the client. Clients can expect calm, direct conversation and tools to practice between meetings. She frames setbacks as part of progress and encourages practical experiments rather than waiting for perfect solutions.
Lamara is licensed in Louisiana as an LCSW, and she integrates mindfulness when people want strategies to manage stress and impulsivity. Her work is grounded in lived experience, clarity, and steady support for parents and individuals navigating change.

Approach and online options that fit busy lives
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following the topics you bring. It helps people feel heard and decide what matters most in their life. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and offers simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger. Mindfulness therapy teaches brief practices to notice stress and regain calm, which can help with impulsivity and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lamara collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and everyday routine. She will suggest options, try techniques together in sessions, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. This makes therapy a team effort rather than a fixed process.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week. Video calls are useful for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging lets people check in between appointments or keep therapy brief during a work break. These formats increase flexibility while keeping the focus on practical progress.
