About Lamara
Lamara Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Louisiana who helps people facing strong emotions and life strain. She often works with people dealing with anger, stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addiction, grief, and major life changes. Her style is straightforward and focused on practical steps people can use right away.
Johnson draws on approaches that center the person and build on strengths. She uses client-centered methods to make space for each person's experience and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
Mindfulness techniques are woven in to help people notice strong feelings without being overwhelmed. With 18 years of experience, she brings a steady presence to difficult conversations. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and on small, manageable goals that add up over time.
She pays attention to cultural and life-context factors that shape how problems show up. People come to her with a wide range of concerns including parenting stress, communication and blended family challenges, trauma and post-traumatic stress, substance use, intimacy and self-esteem struggles, and issues tied to identity and discrimination. Her approach looks for practical ways to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.
Her work aims to be collaborative. She helps people identify strengths, try new skills, and make decisions that fit their lives. The emphasis is on concrete tools and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Approach and online options that fit your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's perspective and values the individual's voice. It involves listening closely, reflecting the person's experience, and helping them choose goals that feel meaningful. This approach is useful for building confidence, improving relationships, and making decisions about next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches people to notice thought and behavior patterns that fuel distress and to try small experiments to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and impulsive behaviors because it provides concrete skills to test in daily life.
Lamara will work collaboratively to find which approach or mix of approaches fits best. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will decide on practical steps and adjust methods if something isn’t working well for the person.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexible ways to connect. Video is useful when nonverbal cues matter, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging lets someone check in between appointments or have a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
