Hello, I’m Ann-Marie Johnson.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) for the states of Virginia and North Carolina, specializing in partnering with adults (18 and older) to achieve goals that reflect their values and aspirations. I’m here to work with you. Along with individual therapy, I offer group counseling for parents, as well as family and couples therapy. Together, we can identify and address the negative thought patterns, habits, and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, stress, and other mental health challenges.
As your therapist, my goal is to collaborate with you to set realistic, meaningful goals that align with your needs. I’ll walk alongside you as you work toward emotional and mental wellness, supporting you in restoring balance in your life—emotionally, spiritually, and physically. Recognizing that "it's okay to not be okay right now" is a powerful first step in your journey. Now is the time to start the process of becoming the best version of yourself. Take that step today.
My Approach
My approach to therapy is collaborative and integrative, working in partnership with you to meet your unique needs. Together, we’ll draw from a range of evidence-based techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Strength-Based Therapy, and traditional psychotherapy, to help you gain insight, build resilience, and achieve personal growth. I bring both my professional and personal experiences into our work, offering a well-rounded perspective as we navigate challenges together—whether in individual, group, couples, or family sessions.
I have specialized training in treating complex trauma, and I’m dedicated to supporting you through its lasting effects. We’ll explore how personal crises, divorce, military life, emotional or physical abuse, and the loss of a child may have impacted you. From there, we’ll work side by side to heal and rebuild.
Our sessions will be a safe and compassionate space where you feel empowered to share your story and explore difficult emotions. Whether you're coping with trauma, navigating a significant life transition, or seeking help after a crisis, we will work together to identify your strengths and resources. My role is to provide guidance, practical tools, and support as you rediscover your resilience and set goals that reflect your values.
This partnership is about finding a path that works for you—one that fosters healing, balance, and well-being in your life. No matter where you are in your journey, we’ll walk this road together, helping you reconnect with your strengths and move toward a place of emotional wellness.
