About Lamara
Lamara Johnson offers practical, steady support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, or life changes. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and she writes plainly about helping people find clearer choices and small steps forward. Her style is warm and direct, aimed at parents and adults who need straightforward help right now.
Lamara uses approaches that focus on strengths and real-life solutions. In sessions she helps clients spot unhelpful thoughts, try new behaviors, and build habits that ease daily pressure.
Background and approach
She often combines problem-focused tools with mindfulness to reduce reactivity and increase calm in heated moments. Her work covers common concerns such as depression, grief, trauma and abuse, anger, and addictions. She also helps with relationship problems, parenting stress, blended family challenges, and communication breakdowns.
Lamara pays attention to cultural and social pressures that affect people’s choices and feelings. Clients can expect a collaborative process. Lamara asks questions, listens for what matters, and then suggests steps to try between sessions.
She uses motivational techniques to support change without judgement, and she helps set small, achievable goals. With 18 years of experience and a Louisiana license (LA LCSW 11896), Lamara draws on a wide practice background. She works with individuals on issues such as bipolar disorder, ADHD, forgiveness and guilt, and intimacy-related concerns.
Her approach stays practical and focused on what can improve day-to-day life.
Approaches that fit online life
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the client’s perspective. It helps people feel heard and guide their own choices, which is useful for relationship strain, self-esteem, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and impulsivity.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that seem promising, and adjust the plan based on what works. That collaborative stance makes it easier to tailor sessions to parenting stress, grief, addiction concerns, or everyday coping skills.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat options work well for quick check-ins or tracking small changes. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and maintain momentum between sessions.
