About Taij
Taij Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor who centers therapy on each person's strengths. He draws on seven years of work across settings to help people manage stress, anger, anxiety, grief, and relationship concerns. Taij aims to make sessions clear, practical, and focused on what matters to the client right now.
He began working in mental health during high school and has supported people in group homes, assisted living, and school-based intervention roles.
Background and approach
Those early hands-on jobs shaped his interest in steady, accessible care. After college he worked in Protective Services and later completed a master's degree in counseling, leading to licensure as an LCMHC and LPC. Taij uses a client-centered stance that emphasizes listening and matching interventions to each person's needs.
He commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, mindfulness to build grounding skills, and narrative ideas to help people reframe their life stories. Motivational interviewing is used when people want support making changes. In sessions he focuses on practical steps - breathing exercises, behavioral experiments, clarifying values, and workable plans for handling anger or stress.
He also addresses issues such as trauma, intimacy, body image, caregiving stress, ADHD, and coping with life transitions. Work tends to be collaborative and paced to the client's comfort. Taij practices from North Carolina and works with English-speaking clients.
He accepts international clients and offers video, phone, chat, or text-based sessions. Costs vary by location and follow a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Taij commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and meeting a person where they are so they can name goals and move at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and tests small behavioral changes to reduce anger, anxiety, or low mood.He also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple grounding and breathing practices that can lower reactivity. These practices are useful for managing stress, improving sleep, and reducing impulsive anger. Together these approaches give tools for day-to-day coping and space for understanding longer-term patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose techniques that match a client's needs, goals, and comfort with online formats. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people maintain face-to-face conversation, phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, chat or text work well for brief check-ins or clients who prefer typing. These options help fit sessions into workdays, caregiving schedules, or different time zones.
