About Amy Johnson

Amy Johnson is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Massachusetts with 20 years of experience supporting adolescents and their families. She has worked across a range of settings helping teens and their caregivers navigate complex and challenging situations.

Amy has supported young people facing depression, anxiety, peer and relationship difficulties, trauma, dissociation, and abuse. Those struggles have often been accompanied by patterns such as addiction, self-harm, and suicidal thoughts, which have had profound effects on clients and their family systems. She brings compassion and steadiness to that work while honoring the seriousness of these issues.

She regards the therapeutic relationship as central to enabling vulnerability and sustained change. Rather than adhering to a single theoretical model, she draws from a variety of clinical theories to tailor treatment to each person and family. Her approach begins with the individual narrative and current experience, and she designs interventions that respect unique needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all solution.

Amy listens closely and encourages collaborative exploration of what gets in the way of progress, offering thoughtful challenges and guidance to help people make meaningful shifts. She frames the decision to seek help as a demonstration of strength and courage, and she represents a steady clinical presence for those who believe she might be a good fit.

That flexibility often makes it easier to maintain regular care and integrate therapy into a busy life.

Licensed professionals provide these services, and clients can change therapists if they would prefer a different fit. For many people, remote therapy offers an accessible, practical path to addressing everyday challenges and working toward personal goals.
