About Janis
Janis Johnson is a licensed clinical social worker with 32 years of experience helping people find more balance and meaning in their lives. She greets new clients with calm attention and aims to make the first step feel manageable. She listens closely and works with each person to build practical ways to feel steadier day to day.
Janis draws on Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice their thoughts and body sensations without judgment. She also uses Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools to identify patterns that get in the way and to test small changes that can make a difference. These methods are used together to fit each person’s needs rather than following a fixed script.
Her background includes years of life experience as a wife, a teacher, a mother, and a grandmother. That perspective informs how she thinks about caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, and the strains that come with life transitions. Janis is comfortable addressing challenges such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and the effects of trauma.
She helps people work through parenting stress, relationship separation, family of origin issues, and questions of life purpose and forgiveness. Other focus areas include mood disorders, social anxiety, post-traumatic stress, seasonal affective disorder, traumatic brain injury, and financial stress.
Janis approaches sessions with respect, sensitivity, and warmth. Together with each client she develops a plan aimed at realistic, steady progress. Her style is supportive and hopeful, focused on helping people feel more capable and connected as they move forward.
