About Carol Johnson

Carol Johnson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 27 years of professional experience. She works with people of all ages and addresses a wide range of concerns, with particular interest in couples and others who are facing relationship struggles or who are dealing with low motivation, confidence, or self-esteem.

Grief and loss represent a central focus of her work. She spent two decades directing a bereavement program after the death of her young husband, and that long-term experience informs a deep understanding of mourning, adjustment, and healing. In addition, she brings art therapy into sessions for clients who are interested in using creative processes to explore feelings and build resilience.

Carol approaches each person with the belief that an individual’s life story contains strengths that can support recovery and growth. She recognizes the courage it takes to begin therapy and aims to offer steady support and practical guidance as clients take those first steps toward change.

One major advantage of remote sessions is flexibility. Clients can connect with their therapist in the format that fits their life best - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which helps make therapy more accessible and easier to schedule around other responsibilities.

Each therapist involved in online work is a licensed professional, and clients have the option to request a different therapist at any time if they would like a different fit.
