About Taij
Taij Johnson is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina. He brings seven years of hands-on experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting challenges. He draws on straightforward, practical strategies in sessions and aims to make therapy feel useful from the first visit.
Before becoming a counselor, he worked in direct care roles and school-based intervention. Those early jobs included personal care work in group homes and assisted living, and high-risk intervention in schools.
Background and approach
Later he worked as a Protective Services social worker, which added experience with safety planning and real-world problem solving. Taij uses a client-centered style that focuses on each person’s goals and strengths. He also draws from cognitive behavioral tools to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Mindfulness techniques and narrative work help people build awareness and reframe difficult experiences. In practice he supports people dealing with relationship strain, grief, trauma, parenting stress, body image, and work-related burnout. He also helps people facing mood disorders, ADHD-related challenges, and life transitions.
Sessions typically focus on clear goals and practical steps to reduce distress. Taij works with adults from diverse backgrounds and accepts international clients for remote sessions. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging as ways to stay connected between appointments.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Taij frequently blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small changes. CBT methods focus on practical steps and exercises that can be practiced between sessions to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or change avoidance behaviors.He also uses mindfulness-based strategies to help people notice physical sensations and emotional patterns without judgment. Mindfulness exercises can support coping with stress, grief, and parenting pressures by building greater moment-to-moment awareness and calmer responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and comfort level. Together they track progress and adjust tools and techniques as needs change.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people have a face-to-face conversation when schedules allow. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter connection is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to check in between appointments or to have shorter, focused conversations when time is tight.
