About Taij
Taij Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with seven years of experience. He uses a client-centered approach to help people facing anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, mood shifts, and phobias. He speaks English and works with clients in North Carolina and beyond.
Taij draws on practical skills from many earlier roles. He began in mental health support work in high school and later worked as a personal care worker in group home and assisted living settings.
Background and approach
He also served as a high-risk intervention technician in schools and as a Protective Services social worker before completing a master of arts in counseling. In sessions he focuses on clear, doable steps. He often uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and develop new coping habits.
He pairs that with mindfulness practices to lower stress and improve focus during hard moments. Taij also uses narrative and motivational approaches to help people reframe their stories and find practical reasons to change. He listens for each person’s goals and tailors plans to fit real life demands like work, parenting, and health concerns.
People who reach out can expect plain talk and steady guidance. He helps with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, ADHD, depression, bipolar mood concerns, eating and sleeping problems, intimacy and sexual culture topics, and caregiving stress. He aims to help clients build skills that make daily life easier and more meaningful.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Taij commonly blends client-centered work with cognitive-behavioral therapy and mindfulness practices. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and meeting each person where they are, which helps people clarify goals and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors to build practical coping skills for anxiety, phobias, mood concerns, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and focus.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, daily demands, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they adjust methods so sessions fit the client’s needs and preferences rather than following one fixed plan.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people work face to face when schedules allow. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, progress notes, or for fitting therapy into short breaks. These options help people keep steady work on goals while balancing family, work, and health.
