Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Dianna Johnson, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Certified Addiction Specialist (CAS) with over two decades of experience helping people find hope, healing, and meaningful change. I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, addiction, relationship issues, and stress management.

I’m especially passionate about supporting individuals living with Borderline Personality Disorder and those who struggle with impulsivity or emotional intensity. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, build emotional balance, and create healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

My approach to therapy

My work focuses on promoting hope, healing, and meaningful change through a compassionate, client-centered approach. I hold specialized certifications in Anger Management, Grief Counseling, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

My style is warm, direct, and solution-focused. I use simple, practical tools to help you reframe unhelpful thoughts, manage emotions, and develop healthy coping strategies. I’ve worked with people from diverse backgrounds and cultures, and I’m deeply committed to promoting self-awareness, inspiring self-growth, and empowering others to move toward lasting emotional wellness.

What you can expect from me

I know that starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. In our first session, we’ll take time to explore what’s been weighing on you, what you’d like to change, and what goals feel most meaningful.

You can expect a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you’re encouraged to be honest and open. Whether you’re working through grief, trauma, relationship stress, or emotional ups and downs, we’ll move at your pace—building tools, insight, and confidence along the way. My hope is that you leave each session feeling lighter, understood, and ready to keep growing.
