About Johanna
Johanna Lea is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Oklahoma with 11 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, life changes, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting pressures, sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD, bipolar challenges, and career stress.
She uses straightforward talk, practical skills, and evidence-informed strategies to help clients manage symptoms and make day-to-day changes. Sessions often focus on coping tools, problem solving, and improving routines like sleep and eating. Motivational interviewing techniques are used when people want help making changes related to addiction, motivation, or goals.
Her background includes a wide range of clinical settings across age groups. Over the past five years she has focused much of her work with older adults and women, while continuing to serve adults of different life stages. This experience shapes how she approaches grief, health-related stress, and transitions tied to aging or caregiving.
Johanna draws on Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the individual’s concerns and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to address thinking patterns and emotion regulation. Mindfulness techniques are used to build moment-to-moment awareness and reduce reactivity.
Her approach is practical and goal-oriented. She helps people set realistic steps and track progress. People can expect clear tools, short-term skill work, and collaborative planning for longer-term change.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the individual's priorities and experience. Online sessions using this approach involve listening, reflecting, and shaping sessions around the client's immediate concerns. This helps when people need practical problem solving or short-term support.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches skills to notice thinking patterns and change unhelpful behaviors. Online CBT often includes homework, tracking thoughts and behaviors between sessions, and step-by-step skill practice for anxiety, depression, sleep, and eating issues.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes concrete emotion regulation and distress tolerance techniques. These skills are practical for managing big emotions, impulsive behaviors, and relationship stress, and they can be practiced in brief online check-ins.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose tools that match their goals, preferences, and daily routine. Sessions adapt over time as needs change.
Session format details are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work, caregiving, and daily life, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and enable written homework or between-session practice to be reviewed in therapy.
