Lamara Johnson, LCSW

Lamara Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Louisiana with 18 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, parenting challenges, addiction, trauma, grief, and related concerns. She also lists blended family issues and communication problems among her focus areas.

She keeps sessions practical and goal-oriented. People can expect conversations that look at current problems and small changes that make a difference. She uses clear strategies from cognitive behavioral approaches and client-centered practices to address thoughts, behavior, and relationship habits.

Her background includes long-term practice with individuals coping with life transitions, anger, substance use, and grief. That experience informs straightforward work on problem solving, impulse control, and rebuilding routines after big changes. She also brings knowledge of multicultural concerns and issues tied to prejudice and discrimination.

When blended household challenges come up she helps people navigate roles, co-parenting tensions, loyalty conflicts, and shifting boundaries. Sessions address communication skills, realistic expectations, and ways to reduce repeated clashes around chores, schedules, and discipline.

Lamara also uses mindfulness exercises and solution-focused techniques to support short-term goals like reducing anxiety attacks or improving specific interactions. Motivational interviewing is part of her approach when people want to change substance use or other habits. The focus is on practical steps rather than abstract theory.
