About Lamara
Lamara Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Louisiana with 18 years of experience. She sees people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, trauma, substance use concerns, and life transitions.
She uses straightforward talk and practical tools in sessions. Expect a focus on what is happening now and on small changes that can make everyday life easier. Lamara draws on client-centered work to listen for goals and on cognitive behavioral techniques to map thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going.
Mood and coping are common topics. She helps people manage anger, improve communication, and work through loss. Issues around intimacy, self-esteem, and identity show up often, including concerns related to LGBT identity and multicultural stressors.
When substance use or addiction is part of the picture, Lamara uses motivational interviewing strategies to explore readiness and create realistic next steps. Solution-focused methods are used to set short-term goals and track progress in concrete ways.
She also addresses family concerns such as blended family issues, divorce and separation, and parenting strain. Sessions tend to be practical and action-oriented, with time spent on communication skills, problem solving, and coping strategies.
Lamara practices with attention to cultural and social pressures that affect daily life. People who want clear steps, honest feedback, and a focus on functioning in work and family roles will find this approach direct and pragmatic.
BHow sessions work
How Lamara uses online approaches and clinical methods
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It means listening closely, clarifying what matters most, and shaping sessions around the client's goals. This approach helps when someone needs to sort priorities or wants a collaborative plan for everyday problems.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. It breaks big issues into concrete steps and homework, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing mood or impulsivity.
Motivational interviewing helps when change feels uncertain. It is a conversational approach that explores willingness to change and builds small, realistic next steps for substance use, lifestyle shifts, or other goals.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lamara will discuss options with clients and adjust methods based on goals, preferences, and what is or isn't working. This is a collaborative process where the client helps shape the plan.
If you plan to meet online, confirm the available session formats before booking since session formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people use sessions during a lunch break, after work, or from a quieter spot when concentration is better.
