About me
Teens experience stress from so many different areas of life. It can be overwhelming trying to offer them support. If your teen is withdrawing, having difficulties at school or social settings, or coping with trauma, I would like to offer my support. When teens experience abuse, stress, anxiety, depression, low-self esteem, or trauma they may begin to act out or have a drastic behavior change.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Georgia. I have more than 8 years of Psychotherapy experience. I have worked with ages 8- adult. My experience ranges from working with a wide range of matters such as: ADHD, Depression, Stress management, Low Self-Esteem, Anxiety, and social related issues, trauma, and grief to name a few.
My Counseling style is nurturing, caring, warm, but direct. I believe that labels sometimes put unnecessary stigmas on people. My counseling style combines Cognitive- Behavioral Therapy and a Person Centered approach. I use Mindfulness techniques to assist people with developing healthy ways to cope with current and future stress. I personalize treatment to meet each teens specific needs. I am here to assist and support teens in whatever area they need support. I use technology and other interest of teens to connect with them on a level that feels safe and comfortable for them. I understand that it can be overwhelming picking the right therapist. I am excited and honored you picked me to support you on this journey. I look forward to being your source of support.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Latasha Johnson. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.
Latasha knows just what to say to nudge me forward through my mental health journey. She listens and responds to me clearly and empathically, and she's always pleasant to talk to. I would say she is the best rock anyone could lean on for support. I've spent maybe 14-15 months in her care and I cannot think of anything negative to write about my time with her on teencounseling.com.
Latasha is a great therapist who I've been seeing for over two years. She helped me to grow mentally and improve my skills in dealing with depression, stress and anxiety. She listens very well, makes you feel understood and helps you to reflect and talk through all your problems.
Latasha and I have been working together for over 2 years now. She continues to help me in navigating what is happening in my life and gives me practical tools that help me in identifying my issues. I would work with her time and time again
Attentive and encouraging
Really good
She is the most caring and professional counselor we have ever had. Highly recommend!!
I had a lot of hard stuff going on, and Latasha helped me through a lot of it! I felt so much more empowered and capable after a lot of our phone sessions. She's an incredible listener and I'm so thankful!
LaTasha has been wonderful! She listens and allows me to fully express what I’m dealing with. I would highly recommend her to anyone I know in need of therapy.
Latasha has empowered me in so many ways! She’s made me feel validated by validating my feelings and emotions. She has listened to me speak of my anxieties and reminded me to focus on what I can control as opposed to the factors I can’t. She’s helped me cope with my stress through using varying stress managing techniques. Some worked- some did not but she assisted me until I found one that worked for me. She has helped me with setting boundaries, learning how to say no, with feelings of guilt, coping with depression, etc. I am so thankful!
She is amazing! An awesome listener
Latasha has been so supportive and helped me during the hardest year of my life. She was patient with me and sent me gentle reminders to help me through the worst of my days and gave me tools to manage my anxiety. I’m so thankful for her and the hope she gave me to get through life.
Patient, great listener . Extremely intuitive. I would recommend her to anyone.
Latasha is a great listener, and super respectful. I feel comfortable opening up to her.
Latasha listens carefully, sees the true issues at hand, and has practical suggestions for moving forward
Latasha is the best. Caring, honest and sincere. She listens and helps guide me toward steps that are making things less complicated because she is helping me unpack it one step at a time. I’m looking forward to the future and the healing that is coming.
Ms. Johnson has been a tremendous help during a difficult time. She was professional, considerate, compassionate and a great teacher of all we discussed. Every session she would reinforce all ways for me to be successful outside of our sessions without making me feel overwhelmed. Truly grateful for her help.

This is a tough journey for me, and Dr. Johnson has been extremely helpful in helping me navigate it. She has calmed me down when my anxiety was through the roof and has given me activities to work on in between sessions.
Latasha is a wonderful therapist. Every conversation I have with her feels natural and she is an active listener. She is great at providing tools and resources to use, as well. When I originally began my sessions, I had really bad insomnia and anxiety. With her help, I learned how to manage my anxiety and I am now sleeping so much better. My life has improved because of her. She’s the best!
Absolutely Amazing!! Love her and all of the advice she has given to me. She really helped me look at my situation differently even after two days I felt happier within myself.
Latasha is a fantastic therapist who listens well, talks through problems, and has always been able to read me and what I need really well.
She has helped me more than she will know!
Latasha is very positive and empathetic I enjoy our sessions.
She is an amazing and supportive counselor. She really listens and offers helpful solutions. I have grown so much these past months and I am thankful that I had her help.
She’s helped me so much, and she always responds in a timely manner! She is a great listener and always offers support and helps me get through what I’m dealing with.
