Marquetta Johnson, LPC, LPCC

Marquetta Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and struggles with addictions. She draws on eight years of counseling experience to offer steady support and practical ways to cope. She speaks plainly and meets people where they are when they first reach out.

She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Sessions are shaped around what a person needs most, so plans are adjusted as goals shift. She focuses on boosting motivation, building self-esteem, and improving confidence through regular conversation and problem-solving.

Marquetta has worked with concerns that include grief, anger, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, career stress, and life transitions. She also pays attention to control issues and panic disorder or panic attacks when those come up in sessions. Her background in Missouri practice is paired with a Kentucky license as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and a Missouri Licensed Professional Counselor credential.

In sessions she aims to make next steps clear and manageable. She lets people set the pace and helps break bigger problems into small tasks. That approach is meant to reduce overwhelm and make steady progress feel possible.

If someone is ready to begin, the process starts by selecting the Start Therapy button, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling according to the therapist's availability. Marquetta encourages the first step and supports people as they keep going.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often focus on clear skills and structured conversation. One common approach teaches practical coping skills for anxiety and panic, such as breathing strategies and stepwise exposure to feared situations; this helps reduce the intensity of panic attacks and improve day-to-day functioning. Another approach emphasizes building self-esteem and motivation through goal setting, behavioral experiments, and regular check-ins to notice progress and shifts in thinking.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to identify which techniques fit their needs and values, and then adjust methods as goals evolve. That way the work stays focused and feels relevant to the person’s life.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, as they are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for flexible check-ins around work or caregiving. Some people prefer not being on camera, or need shorter sessions on certain days, and online arrangements can often accommodate those preferences. Licensed professionals can help determine which format will best support the goals you bring to therapy.
