If you or someone you know is having a hard time with relationships, managing emotions, overcoming stress and turmoil, or if the past continues to trouble your present, talking with a therapist may help. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience working with individuals and families, I can assist in supporting you through your challenges while helping you develop tools and strategies to make a difference in your life. You deserve a better healthy life. Let’s become partners in your wellness, let’s navigate together the coping skills that will allow you to move forward and pursue your goals to get more out of life. Let me share a little bit about my experience with you...I received my Masters Degree in Social Work from Yeshiva University of New York in 2001. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New Jersey, New Hampshire and Vermont. Worked in a school district for more than 20 years in a unique position where I assisted families and staff to bridge that gap between home and school, offered informative educational workshops, parenting training, advocacy, and was part of an intervention team to support student and parent success. On a part-time basis for more than 15 years I have been working with couples, individuals, children and their families to address particular needs, improve their relationship and communication. I have also provided clinical supervision to experienced and new therapists for 3 years. I have been a guest speaker a few times for a graduate course at William Paterson University for teachers where I have discussed the importance of family engagement and partnering with students’ parents/guardians. I had training of more than 50 hours to be a crisis response team member to go out on a domestic violence crisis call in partnership with the local police and provided emotional support, education, and community resources to the victim. Languages I’m fluent in: English and Spanish.

Hello! My name is Kelli Johnson. I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Sheridan, Wyoming. I specialize in treating symptoms of depression and anxiety and addressing issues of loneliness, unease, women's health, and life transitions. I tailor my approaches to counseling based on you and your needs. I employ an integrative approach to healing utilizing tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), somatic body based techniques ( informed by both psychology and my training as a yoga teacher) mindfulness, breath work, narrative therapy (finding power and purpose in your story) and bibliotherapy (this one is for you, bookworms!). I see my role as a counselor as a collaborator. You are the expert of your own experience. Through my professional training, clinical work over the past decade, and life experiences, I have acquired frameworks, skills, and tools to help you recognize your own beauty and strength, tap into sources of resilience, grow from challenges, center and soothe yourself, and to move forward in your life with intention, wisdom, and peace. I believe the key to productive work in therapy is the counselor client relationship. I am committed to building a strong working alliance with you grounded in respect, acceptance, empathy, and authenticity. I believe we are all fellow travelers, making our respective ways in the world and I would be honored to walk with you awhile on your journey! Kindest regards, Kelli
