Preston Johnson, LPC

Preston Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a long career in mental health. He has 16 years of licensed experience and more than two decades working in counseling roles. He trained in psychology and community counseling and brings that background into everyday sessions.

He has worked in many settings, including inpatient and outpatient programs, acute care, K-12 schools, and adult mental health services. That variety means he has seen people cope with a wide range of concerns. Common topics he addresses include stress and anxiety, depression, self-esteem, grief, trauma, and relationship struggles.

Preston offers both group and individual therapy from his experience with different programs. He also has experience helping with parenting, career shifts, addiction concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, anger, intimacy-related issues, and compassion fatigue. He uses practical conversation and tools so people can apply changes outside the session.

His style is straightforward and warm. He emphasizes empathy and tactful honesty, and he sometimes uses humor to ease difficult conversations. The aim in sessions is to set clear, achievable goals and take small steps toward them.

Choosing to start therapy is a personal decision Preston respects. He welcomes people who want to work on healing, growth, and better day-to-day coping. He works from Mississippi and holds the LPC credential.

Approaches that guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The therapist follows your lead, reflects what you say, and helps you find your own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Preston will discuss options and adapt methods to your needs, goals, and preferences. Together you decide which techniques to try and adjust them as progress is made.

Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as this profile does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a break. It can also let people use strategies learned in session in their everyday settings more quickly. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing and homework to match how you prefer to work, helping therapy fit into your routine.
