About Christen
Christen Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with 12 years of experience. She works with adults who are feeling stuck by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, or depression. Christen also focuses on concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, blended family stress, caregiver strain, chronic illness and pain, and problems with communication.
In sessions she uses straightforward conversation and practical strategies. Christen draws from cognitive behavioral approaches to identify thought and behavior patterns. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas and mindfulness to help people notice what matters and act on it. Motivational interviewing techniques are part of her work when people are weighing change or facing ambivalence.
Christen adapts what she does to the person in front of her rather than following a single script. That can look like concrete skills practice one week, and values-based goal setting the next. She pays attention to how past attachment and abandonment experiences affect current relationships and confidence.
People often come with a mix of issues, such as depression combined with caregiving stress or addiction alongside family conflict. Christen helps people sort priorities, try manageable changes, and track what helps. Her approach centers on clear conversation, behavioral experiments, and regular check-ins about progress.
She practices in Louisiana and conducts work in English. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and formats to match their needs.
How her approaches translate to online work
Christen commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them. ACT can help when people feel stuck by showing small, value-aligned actions that matter more than trying to control every thought.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. CBT provides concrete exercises to test beliefs and change unhelpful patterns, useful for anxiety, depression, and problem behaviors. Mindfulness practices are used alongside these methods to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christen will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, adjusting plans based on what works in weekly sessions. That collaborative planning helps keep sessions focused and practical.
