About me

Greetings!

I am Vanessa Johnson and have been a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) since 2007 in the state of Georgia. I received a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Clark Atlanta University (c/o ’02) and a Master of Science in Professional Counseling from Georgia State University (c/o ’04). I have worked with children, adolescents, and families in a variety of therapeutic settings.

I was a direct care staff in a residential treatment center while in graduate school and as an intern provided counseling at three therapeutic group homes and a residential treatment center. I have worked with families in the community while providing wraparound services and Intensive Family Intervention. I also have worked with military children providing non-medical counseling with a focus on skill building, conflict resolution, social skills, anger management, relational issues, and academic issues.

I have attended trainings on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy and have a Cognitive Behavioral approach to treatment.

Vanessa is extremely patient and supportive. I appreciate her flexibility with hours as well as with the types of sessions (chatting). She is helping both my daughter and I get through some challenging times and is very responsive to follow up with any questions I have. Thank you Vanessa!

Vanessa Johnson is an amazing therapist. She is personable, compassionate, a great listener, and truly has helped me organize my life. I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs a professional friend.

One of the best therapists I’ve ever had. Very relatable!!! I don’t feel like I’m talking to a corporate professional I feel I’m talking to a friend and that’s the best part! I appreciate the expertise and energy from Vanessa!

Work with me!
