About Taij
Taij Johnson is a licensed counselor who focuses on meeting people where they are. He uses a client-centered approach to help people sort through relationships, stress, grief, anxiety, and codependency concerns. Taij presents in a calm, straightforward way so conversations stay clear and practical.
He brings seven years of mental health experience that began with hands-on support roles. Early work included personal care in group homes and assisted living, plus intervention work in schools. Those roles led to work as a Protective Services social worker before he completed a master of arts in Counseling and earned his licenses as an LPC and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, LCMHC.
In sessions he draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns and try new behaviors. He also uses Mindfulness Therapy to build moment-to-moment awareness and Narrative Therapy to reframe life stories. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone wants to make a change but feels stuck.
Taij aims for conversations that are concrete and useful. He addresses practical matters like sleep, eating, work stress, and parenting strain alongside deeper issues such as trauma, attachment wounds, and identity concerns. His style is collaborative and goal-oriented, with attention to everyday needs.
He practices in North Carolina and works in English. People who want to start typically complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability. The session cost varies with location and therapist availability and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and building a respectful, nonjudgmental working relationship. It helps people clarify values, feel heard, and decide what changes matter to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It uses simple, practical exercises to test beliefs, reduce worry, improve sleep and eating habits, and change unhelpful patterns such as those found in codependency.
Mindfulness Therapy trains moment-to-moment awareness through short practices. This can help reduce reactivity to stress and make daily routines feel more manageable.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or blend methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That process often begins with a few conversations to see what fits best.
Confirm the session formats before booking, since formats are not specified in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when needed, avoid travel time, and allow sessions during breaks or from different locations. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets, and mindfulness practices to work well in remote sessions.
