About Taij

Taij Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina. He brings seven years of hands-on experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship concerns. Taij centers sessions on each person's needs and works to help them find clearer footing in daily life.

He began in mental health at the entry level while still in high school, providing direct support in group homes and assisted living. That early work continued into roles as a high-risk intervention technician in schools and later as a Protective Services social worker. Those front-line positions shaped how he approaches practical problems and safety concerns.

Taij completed a Master of Arts in Counseling and went on to hold clinical licensure as an LCMHC and LPC. He uses a client-centered stance, meeting people where they are and focusing on goals they find meaningful. Sessions often mix practical strategies and deeper reflection depending on what the person needs.

His work addresses a wide range of concerns, including LGBT issues, relationship and family matters, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and career or life transitions. He also supports people facing caregiving stress, chronic illness, body image, and intimacy-related issues.

Taij draws on a variety of therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, narrative work, mindfulness, and motivational techniques. He aims to tailor interventions so clients can develop coping skills, rebuild routines, and handle everyday stressors more confidently.

How his approaches shape online therapy

Taij often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and build new coping strategies. CBT is practical and works well for anxiety, depression, and problems that respond to behavior changes.

He also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, understanding, and helping the person direct the pace and goals of work. This approach supports people who need a steady, respectful space to sort through feelings and decisions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Taij will collaborate with each person to choose or blend methods based on goals, values, and what feels most useful. He adjusts techniques over time as needs change.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use different formats to match your schedule and comfort, and Taij aims to help you find a setup that works with your everyday routine.
