Kelli Johnson , LCMHC, LPC

Kelli Johnson is a licensed counselor based in Sheridan, Wyoming who brings an integrative, person-centered approach to supporting adults through grief, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship challenges. She holds LCMHC and LPC credentials, which indicate state licensure as a clinical mental health counselor and as a professional counselor. With eight years of professional experience, she tailors therapeutic work to each individual's needs and priorities rather than following a one-size-fits-all model.

Kelli blends evidence-informed methods with embodied practices, drawing on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), somatic body-based techniques influenced by her training as a yoga teacher, mindfulness and breath work, narrative therapy to explore personal meaning, and bibliotherapy for clients who find reading therapeutic. These tools are woven together to help clients identify values, build coping skills, and strengthen resilience when navigating difficult emotions and life changes.

She views therapy as a collaborative process in which the client is the expert on their own experience and the counselor offers frameworks, skills, and compassionate support. Kelli emphasizes a warm working alliance grounded in respect, empathy, and authenticity, aiming to help people recognize inner strengths, soothe emotional distress, and move forward with greater intention and clarity. She welcomes those seeking thoughtful, tailored care for a wide range of mental health and life concerns.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Kelli integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and mindfulness practices to address a range of emotional and relational concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and learning practical skills to move toward a meaningful life while accepting difficult feelings - it is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in close relationships formed early in life and supports clients in understanding and reshaping those patterns to improve connection and intimacy. Mindfulness practices teach present-moment awareness and simple attention exercises that can reduce reactivity and support stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Kelli works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She uses assessment and ongoing conversation to adjust the focus of sessions so clients feel heard and involved in treatment planning.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions may take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make regular care easier to schedule around work, family, or mobility constraints. These options allow clients to access therapy from their own homes or other convenient locations while maintaining continuity of care with a licensed professional.
