About Debbie
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with nine years of clinical experience. Debbie Johnson helps people handle stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship concerns, parenting strain, and career changes. She also supports people working through addictions, anger, self-esteem issues, and feelings of guilt or shame.
Debbie uses practical, evidence-informed methods in sessions. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client's lead and build trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are available for emotional regulation and coping under pressure.
Sessions tend to focus on clear, manageable goals. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to outline small steps forward. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is unsure about change or wants to address addictive behaviors.
Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. She listens, reflects what she hears, and offers exercises or tools to use between meetings. Conversations may include skill building, thought records, or planning for specific life transitions.
Debbie works from a values-aware perspective and can integrate faith considerations when clients want that included. She practices with adults in Tennessee and holds the LPC credential listed above.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. In practice this means meetings start with what matters most to the person and the therapist reflects and clarifies to keep the work relevant. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and provides concrete tools like thought records and behavioral experiments to test changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for managing intense emotion, such as grounding, distress-tolerance steps, and emotion regulation techniques.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust based on what helps. That collaboration shapes whether sessions lean more toward skills training, problem solving, or motivational conversations.
Confirm the available session formats before booking because the biography does not specify which ones are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekly routine, shorten check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. For many people this helps keep momentum between meetings and maintain consistent use of CBT or DBT tools in everyday life.
