About Angel Johnson

Angel Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in both Illinois and Indiana with 16 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, and families. Since Fall 2022 she has worked as a clinical therapist at a residential treatment facility serving at-risk adolescents, and prior to the COVID crisis she provided home-based therapy as a subcontractor for clients across age groups.

Before moving into residential treatment, she spent ten years as a school social worker in Illinois, a role that expanded her experience as a crisis interventionist, change agent, and community liaison. Her work in school and community settings strengthened her case-management skills and deepened her ability to select and adapt interventions to meet each client’s unique needs.

Angel works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, ADHD, addictions, eating issues, parenting challenges, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue. She has supported clients facing abandonment, neglect, domestic violence, substance use, undiagnosed mental health disorders, and other complex stressors.

She emphasizes building strong rapport, clear boundaries, and a collaborative therapeutic alliance. Known as a genuine, empathetic listener, she approaches each client with practical interventions and individualized care. She describes her work as a calling and is enthusiastic about the possibilities of remote treatment to expand access to therapy.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Angel Johnson draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based approaches in her remote practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an empathetic, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist supports personal insight and growth - this approach helps with self-esteem, relationship concerns, and motivation for change. CBT is a practical, goal-oriented method that examines connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood symptoms, and address unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness therapy introduces simple attention and grounding practices to help reduce stress, increase emotional regulation, and support recovery from trauma-related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Angel collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies over time based on what proves most helpful. This collaborative stance helps clients feel involved and empowered in their care.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule consistent sessions around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities and allow licensed professionals to maintain continuity of care even when in-person visits are difficult. For many people, remote sessions provide a practical and effective way to engage with therapy on a regular basis.
