Great to meet you!

Greetings! My name is Dr. Damien Johnson and I am a counseling professional with over 17 years of experience in helping individuals manage presenting symptoms and difficulties using an eclectic style of therapy focusing on the connection between thoughts, feelings and behaviors. I have a B.S. Degree in Criminal Justice, a M.A. in Counseling and a Ph.D. in Human Services and am credentialed as a Licensed Professional Counselor, a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor and a Licensed Addictions Counselor in South Carolina. I am also a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and a Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist in North Carolina.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My counseling style is warm and engaging. My theoretical orientation of choice is Cognitive Behavior Therapy, which focuses on the connection between thoughts and feelings that influence behaviors. I also use Mindfulness, Transpersonal Psychology, and NLP principles to help guide clients towards creating healthy internal language the influence healthy thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

What you can expect from our first session

I believe in a person centered approach to counseling that allows me to meet the client where they are as we work towards specified goals. I also believe in the collaborative process of counseling that focuses on clients' strength to assist in overcoming deficits that may impede optimum functioning.
