About Taij
Taij Johnson is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) and LCMHC (Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor) practicing in North Carolina with seven years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing life transitions and a broad range of concerns, including relationship strain, grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, and questions about life purpose. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.
He began in mental health at the entry level while still in high school. Early roles included personal care work in group homes and assisted living, and intervention work in school settings. Later he served as a Protective Services social worker before completing a master of arts in Counseling and becoming a licensed clinician.
In session he leans on client-centered work, asking what matters most to the person and responding to those priorities. He also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Narrative and mindfulness techniques are used to help people notice patterns and make intentional changes.
Taij works with practical concerns such as sleep, eating, caregiving stress, and career questions alongside deeper issues like attachment, abandonment, and family of origin difficulties. He also addresses intimacy-related issues and alternative sex cultures such as BDSM and kink, plus health-related challenges like chronic illness and cancer caregiving.
People can expect a straightforward, conversational approach that focuses on real-life problems and next steps. He uses a variety of methods to match what a person needs in the moment, and he helps clarify small, manageable goals to test what works.
How his approaches translate to online work
Taij uses client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness approaches in his practice. Client-centered work means the conversation starts with what matters to the person and aims to respond to those priorities. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and tests practical experiments to change them. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to help reduce reactivity and improve focus.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences together and adjust methods over time. That collaboration helps shape short-term steps and longer-range plans without promising a specific outcome.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available session types before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also allow conversations that focus on practical behavior experiments, mindfulness practices, and narrative work that tracks changes between sessions. Ask about which formats are offered when you schedule to match sessions to your daily routine.
