About Kianni

Kianni Johnson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, anger, and depression in straightforward, practical ways. She listens for the patterns that keep someone stuck and works with them to try different responses.

Sessions are collaborative and aim to give usable tools that fit everyday life. Kianni emphasizes steady progress rather than quick fixes. Her approach draws on Existential therapy to look at meaning and personal values.

Background and approach

She also uses client-centered methods to keep the work grounded in the person's own goals and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Over six years of practice, she has supported people facing mood disorders, attachment issues, codependency, communication and control problems, and challenges such as jealousy, infidelity, guilt, and shame.

She also works with concerns like impulsivity, self-harm, paranoia, and forgiveness struggles. Kianni makes space for identity and cultural factors in sessions. She believes those factors shape how people cope and aims to explore them respectfully.

Her style is direct but compassionate, helping people build resilience and clearer self-understanding. Therapy with Kianni typically focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions. The goal is clearer thinking, better emotion regulation, and choices that reflect the person's values.

Online support

How Kianni's approaches work online

Existential Therapy looks at what matters most to a person and how they find meaning. It can help when someone feels stuck, unsure about purpose, or overwhelmed by life choices. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting the person's experience so they feel understood and can lead the pace of their work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the process. Kianni works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts the work as progress and challenges emerge so therapy stays relevant and practical.

Online sessions offer flexibility and different ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for in-depth work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or shorter exchanges between appointments. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between sessions.
