About Taij
Taij Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with seven years of experience. He works with concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief, stress, ADHD, and family of origin issues. He also addresses intimacy-related concerns, parenting stress, and career questions.
He began working in mental health at the entry level while in high school. Early roles included personal care work in group home and assisted living settings and intervention work in schools. Those hands-on roles led to work as a Protective Services social worker before he completed a Master of Arts in Counseling and gained his LCMHC credential.
Taij uses a client-centered stance in sessions. He draws on cognitive behavioral approaches to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He also uses mindfulness methods to support people in managing stress and staying present when feelings are intense.
Narrative techniques are part of his practice, helping people examine the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. Motivational interviewing is used when clients want help building motivation for change, such as with sleep, eating, or burnout concerns.
In a session he talks through immediate problems, sets practical steps, and checks what is working. He keeps language direct and concrete so people can use what they talk about between appointments. For those concerned about patterns from their childhood or family of origin, he helps identify repeating roles and expectations and looks at practical ways to change them.
How Taij uses evidence-based approaches in online sessions
Taij commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness Therapy in sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can identify what matters most and decide next steps. CBT helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical experiments to change behaviors that maintain anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and manage stress in the moment.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Taij will collaborate with each person to test methods that fit their goals and preferences. He checks in on what helps and adjusts the plan based on what a client needs over time.
Session formats should be confirmed before booking, since the original biography does not specify which online options are used. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a weekday break, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with him during the matching and scheduling steps to learn which formats are being offered and how they can fit into your daily routine.
