About Trenese
Trenese Johnson helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, and intimacy-related issues. She works with adults on career struggles, addiction, parenting challenges, and coping with life changes. Trenese also supports people dealing with trauma, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and compassion fatigue.
She is licensed in Georgia as a LICSW and an LCSW and brings 28 years of experience to her practice. Her style is straightforward and respectful. She listens first and helps clients name what matters to them.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps, not jargon. Trenese encourages people to build on their existing strengths and to try manageable changes between meetings. She uses a mix of approaches that fit the person and the issue.
That can include talk-focused work, strategies to shift unhelpful thinking, mindfulness skills to reduce tension, and somatic techniques that pay attention to body sensations. The goal is to find tools that feel useful in daily life.
Trenese is comfortable discussing a wide range of concerns including sexual health and non-traditional relationship structures, aging and caregiving strain, prejudice and discrimination, and questions about life purpose. She frames therapy as a partnership where the client’s priorities guide the work. Sessions are offered in English and are available in several online formats.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits the client’s needs. Trenese supports people as they take steps toward clearer choices and steadier coping.
How approaches and online sessions work together
Trenese often uses client-centered work that focuses on the person’s goals and lived experience. This approach means the therapist listens closely, asks questions to clarify what matters, and helps the client set the agenda for each session.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. CBT provides clear strategies for changing habits and easing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Trenese will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and how different methods feel. That collaborative process helps shape which tools and techniques are tried first.
Online therapy can make attending sessions easier. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients share thoughts between sessions or check in on a schedule that fits their day. These options increase flexibility and help therapy fit into busy lives.
