About Michael
Michael Johnson SR is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with eight years of experience. He focuses on relationship and family concerns along with intimacy-related issues, anger, depression, stress, anxiety, parenting, and self-esteem.
He meets adults who are dealing with changes in their family life. That includes people navigating separation, divorce, fatherhood questions, or the challenges of blended households. He also works with those facing chronic illness, aging concerns, or career and life-purpose questions.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical. Michael listens, helps clarify what matters most, and works with clients to set achievable goals. He uses a mix of approaches so sessions can focus on thinking patterns, present problems, or deeper emotional themes.
He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Client-Centered techniques help people speak freely and decide what matters to them. Mindfulness exercises are used when stress, anxiety, or chronic pain make day-to-day life harder.
Michael keeps sessions focused on skills and next steps. That can mean practicing different ways to communicate, setting boundaries, or planning manageable behavior changes. He encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes.
People who reach out often want practical ways to reduce conflict, improve connection, or cope with life transitions. If you are working through changes in a blended household or other family shifts, he helps you think through options and next steps.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people find their own solutions. Online sessions that use this approach give space for clients to talk through what matters and set their own goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. In remote sessions CBT can be used to spot unhelpful thinking, practice new behaviors, and plan small changes between meetings.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and manage symptoms like anxiety or chronic pain. These skills can be introduced in a session and practiced during the week.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to choose approaches that match their needs, goals, and what feels practical for them. That choice can change over time as problems and priorities evolve.

Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a day, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Talk with the therapist during the first meeting about how sessions can be arranged to fit your routine and goals.
