Trenese Johnson, LICSW, LCSW, CSW

Trenese Johnson is a licensed social worker who helps people coping with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, and intimacy-related issues. She also supports people dealing with trauma, career stress, addiction concerns, and the challenges that come with aging and geriatric issues. Her practice is grounded in respect for each person’s story and strengths. Trenese emphasizes safety and steady progress as people take steps toward change.

With 28 years of professional experience and credentials as a LICSW, LCSW, and CSW, she brings long-term clinical perspective to everyday problems. She describes clients as experts on their own lives and builds on what already works for them. Conversations tend to focus on practical steps and realistic goals rather than abstract theory.

Her approach mixes client-centered listening with action-oriented techniques. Cognitive behavioral ideas help identify unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. Mindfulness tools support present-moment awareness and stress reduction. Somatic work attends to how the body holds emotion during and after traumatic events.

Trenese also uses solution-focused strategies to help people set short-term goals and track progress. She has worked with many people across life stages and offers support for caregiver stress, midlife changes, and sexual health concerns such as intimacy and sexual function. Sessions aim to be straightforward, respectful, and focused on what the person wants to change.

She practices in Georgia and conducts sessions in English. If someone is considering beginning therapy, Trenese encourages a first step of exploring what matters most and deciding together on practical next steps.

How Trenese's approaches work online and in session

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and meeting the person where they are. The therapist follows the client's priorities and helps them name goals and next steps, which can be useful for stress, relationship concerns, and life transitions.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, helpful for anxiety, depression, and coping with change.

Mindfulness therapy teaches noticing the present moment without judgment. Short practices reduce reactivity and support emotion regulation during stressful times or caregiving demands.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will help decide what fits based on the person's goals, symptoms, and preferences, and will adjust methods as progress is checked.

The profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use these appointments to teach exercises, track progress, and support problem-solving in daily life.
