Whitney Johnson, LCSW

Whitney Johnson is a licensed clinical social worker who supports adults facing trauma, self-doubt, anxiety, depression, and related challenges. She connects with people who recognize when something feels off in their lives and are ready to take steps toward change. Whitney emphasizes practical insight and collaborative problem solving so clients can move out of a rut and begin living on their own terms.

Her work blends individual and family therapy perspectives. She earned a master’s degree in social work from the University of Central Florida and a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Central Florida. Whitney integrates mindfulness, cognitive behavioral techniques, solution-focused strategies, and holistic practices to help clients identify root causes and emotional triggers. She frames her role as a guide - supporting clients to understand why intense emotions surface and building skills to tolerate and channel those emotions more effectively.

Rather than promising immediate fixes, Whitney focuses on helping clients develop the capacity to manage uncomfortable feelings and reduce symptoms more quickly over time. She often uses a metaphor of removing a persistent thorn - helping clients address the underlying source so their mental health stops controlling their lives and they can regain a greater sense of agency and well-being. LCSW stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker, a credential indicating advanced social work training and clinical practice.
