About Kianni

Kianni Johnson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, anger, and depression. She emphasizes clear, practical steps so clients feel less stuck and more able to cope day to day. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how feelings and attachment patterns shape relationships and self-understanding.

Kianni also uses client-centered ideas to keep sessions focused on each person's goals, and cognitive behavioral techniques to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Background and approach

Sessions tend to be straightforward and collaborative. Kianni listens for repeated patterns - like control struggles, codependency, or communication problems - and works with the person to try small changes that add up over time. Her approach is useful for people dealing with grief, guilt, shame, impulsivity, jealousy, or mood swings.

Her practice pays attention to identity and culture. She aims to create a respectful space where life experience and background are part of the work. Kianni describes therapy as a skill-building process rather than a quick fix, focused on sustainable coping and clearer choices.

With six years of clinical experience in New York, Kianni supports people who want practical tools and a steady, thoughtful approach to emotional struggles. She offers conversational, goal-focused sessions that emphasize understanding feelings and making manageable changes.

How Kianni’s Approaches Work Online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people see how their feelings and attachment patterns shape reactions and relationships, which can make it easier to change how they connect with others. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's goals and experience, giving space for reflection and for the therapist to follow the client's lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting thought patterns and behaviors that keep problems going, which can reduce anxiety and mood symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Kianni will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client see facial expressions and body language, while phone sessions work well when internet bandwidth is low. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework help, or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family schedules and support steady momentum between appointments.
