About Taij
Taij Johnson is an LPC, Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practising in North Carolina with seven years of experience. He focuses on concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, and challenges common in young adulthood like career stress and feeling behind.
He began in mental health at the entry level while still in high school. Early roles included personal care work in group homes and assisted living, and high-risk intervention work in schools. After college he worked in Protective Services, which shaped how he approaches safety, boundaries, and practical supports.
Taij completed a Master of Arts in Counseling and holds the LCMHC credential. He uses a client-centered stance and draws on several approaches to help people make changes. Those approaches include cognitive-behavioral ideas, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, narrative work, and psychodynamic perspectives.
In sessions he tends to keep things straightforward. He helps people identify patterns, try small changes, and weigh options for next steps. He also works on communication skills, managing strong emotions, and rebuilding routines like sleep and eating when those break down.
People who are navigating the transition out of school, starting a first job, dealing with relationship breakups, or feeling uncertain about their path may find his practical focus helpful. He accepts international clients and conducts work in English. To start, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial meeting.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful working relationship. It helps people feel understood and clarifies what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors link to mood and stress. It uses simple exercises and experiments to try different ways of thinking and acting. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and support better sleep, anxiety management, and coping with strong emotions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. That means checking how an approach feels in practice and adjusting choices as work progresses.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online sessions fit into busy days more easily, allow shorter check-ins around work or school, and reduce travel time. Online work can make it simpler to schedule around classes, shift work, or caregiving responsibilities. Ask about session length and how recurring subscription billing applies when you set up the first appointment.
