About Jeanni
Jeanni Johnson-Green is a licensed social worker who brings 15 years of clinical experience to her practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, and life changes. Jeanni practices in New York and holds a LICSW and an LCSW.
Jeanni favors straightforward conversation and practical steps. Sessions focus on what feels most pressing to the client, with clear goals and small, achievable changes. She blends client-centered care with tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness to help people manage mood, anger, and self-esteem struggles.
Background and approach
Her background includes substantial work in acute care settings and a Master of Science in Social Work from Columbia University. That experience gives her familiarity with crisis moments and transitions, and with helping people find steady footing after sudden events or losses. Jeanni often uses emotionally focused techniques to repair communication patterns and strengthen emotional connection when relationship strains arise.
Motivational interviewing shows up when clients want to make big life shifts but feel stuck or uncertain about next steps. People describe her style as warm, attentive, and encouraging, with a pragmatic sense of humor. In sessions she listens closely, helps set realistic goals, and offers straightforward strategies for coping and change.
Her practice also attends to multicultural concerns, prejudice and discrimination, workplace stress, and challenges specific to young adults and women. Treatment plans are shaped around each person’s goals and circumstances.
Online approaches for emotional healing and behavior change
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and values, with the therapist following the client’s lead and offering empathy and reflection to clarify priorities. This approach helps when someone needs a safe space to sort out feelings and decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical ways to change unhelpful thoughts and habits. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and mood regulation because it breaks down problems into manageable steps and experiments with new behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name difficult emotions and improve how they connect during important conversations. It is often used when communication patterns or intimacy issues are causing repeated conflict or distance. Jeanni treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will discuss what feels most important, try methods that match your goals, and adjust as you learn what helps. The aim is to find a mix of techniques that fits your needs and comfort level. Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you work face-to-face when a deeper conversation is needed, phone sessions work well for lower bandwidth or shorter check-ins, and live chat or text messaging can fit into busy days or provide frequent touchpoints between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into real life.Frequently asked questions
