About Kianni
LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) in New York with six years of clinical experience, Kianni Johnson focuses on anxiety, depression, stress, anger, relationship issues, and self-esteem concerns. She works directly with individuals to address patterns like attachment problems, codependency, control issues, and communication difficulties. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented, aimed at reducing distress and improving day-to-day functioning.
Kianni uses a mix of client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral tools, and elements from dialectical behavior therapy and emotionally-focused approaches. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, practice new responses to strong emotions, and strengthen their relationships through clearer communication. Her work also addresses more complex challenges such as impulsivity, mood disorders, and symptoms related to disruptive mood dysregulation disorder.
She names identity, culture, and lived experience as important influences on how people cope. In sessions she attends to those factors while helping clients build skills for longer-term stability. Kianni explains therapy as a place to try strategies that can be used outside the session to manage stress and reduce harmful patterns.
Her style emphasizes steady progress over quick fixes. Conversations often include skill practice, problem-solving, and reflections on what gets in the way of change. Kianni supports clients working through guilt, shame, infidelity, jealousy, and issues around forgiveness.
Kianni practices in New York and conducts sessions in English. People considering therapy are encouraged to review the session options and scheduling steps before booking a first appointment.

How Kianni integrates talk work and skills online
Kianni often draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can clarify their own goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and involves practical exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking. Dialectical behavior therapy contributes emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that help with intense moods and impulsivity.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist reviews a client’s concerns and goals, and then they try methods together to see what fits. That collaborative testing helps shape a plan that combines talking, skill practice, and real-life behavior changes.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into work, caregiving, or school schedules. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, avoid commute time, and try skill practice between meetings. Kianni frames sessions around practical tools and follow-up tasks so what is learned can be used in everyday life.
