01About Sierra
Sierra Johnson is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with seven years of clinical experience supporting people through hard life moments. She creates an affirming space where clients can be themselves and work toward clearer relationships and a stronger sense of self. Her practice focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and LGBT concerns.
She often helps people who feel isolated, struggle with communication, or are questioning purpose and self-worth. She pays close attention to how identity and discrimination affect daily life.
Background and approach
Sierra uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address problems like attachment issues, mood challenges, panic, obsessive thoughts, posttraumatic stress, and substance use. She also works with people facing major transitions such as divorce, caregiving, pregnancy, and end-of-life planning. Sexuality, gender identity, and consensual alternative relationship dynamics are areas she can support exploring.
Her style is collaborative and person-centered. Sessions focus on practical steps you can try between meetings, while also making space to tell your story and process strong feelings. She aims to meet clients where they are and build on existing strengths.

04Online support
How evidence-based approaches guide online therapy
Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on practical skills and clear goals. For example, approaches that target mood and anxiety teach skills for noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. This can help when panic, persistent worry, or low mood get in the way of daily life.Another common strategy addresses trauma and coping by helping people process distressing memories and build tolerable ways to manage strong emotions. This work often combines grounded tools for immediate relief with longer term steps to reduce avoidance and reconnect with meaningful activities.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sierra works with clients to identify which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts the plan as progress is made. That collaborative process helps make sessions feel relevant and workable.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking so you know how meetings will be held. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about what will best fit your routine and comfort level.
