Marquetta Johnson , LPC, LPCC

Marquetta Johnson is a licensed counselor with eight years of professional experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, and life transitions. She combines respect, sensitivity, and compassion to create a therapeutic space that addresses concerns such as self-esteem, motivation, relationships, family dynamics, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, career issues, control concerns, and panic attacks.

She holds LPC and LPCC credentials - Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - and maintains licensure in Missouri and Kentucky. Marquetta emphasizes practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each client's unique needs, shaping conversations and treatment plans around individual goals and circumstances. Her approach supports both short-term coping and longer-term growth by building confidence, developing coping skills, and addressing patterns that interfere with daily functioning.

Recognizing that beginning therapy can take courage, Marquetta affirms clients for taking that first step and works collaboratively to meet them where they are. She tailors interventions to fit each person’s situation, helping clients move toward clearer goals and improved well-being.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Remote Care

Marquetta Johnson uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and measurable progress. One approach emphasizes skills to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, helping clients manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and panic attacks. Another approach centers on motivational strategies and relapse-prevention principles to support people working through addictions and making lasting changes. A trauma-informed set of coping and stabilization techniques is also used to help clients gradually build tolerance for difficult memories and emotions.

Choosing the right method is part of the therapeutic process. Marquetta works collaboratively with clients to evaluate what feels most helpful, aligning techniques with each person's goals, needs, and preferences so treatment fits the individual rather than the other way around.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers practical flexibility - appointments can take place by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care during life changes, and access support from familiar settings while working toward personal goals.
