Carmalita Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with the Iowa Bureau of Professional Licensure, Louisiana Board of Examiners for Counselors, and the Texas State Board of Examiners of Professional Counselors. She holds a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Louisiana at Monroe.

Carmalita’s method of counseling is a rather eclectic approach! It draws upon multiple theoretical orientations and techniques to fit the client’s need(s). But in keeping close to her roots, her custom is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which is great for treating depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, and other mental health conditions.

 

Carmalita holds to the understanding that therapeutic alliance must be built through trust, this is why she practices empathy and unconditional positive regard, which is the trademark for Person Centered Therapy (PCT). She has been afforded the opportunity to work within different settings, providing psychoeducation, coping skills, Family Functional Therapy (FFT) services, substance abuse, and cultural diversity.

 

She is big on self-care and so enjoys spending time with family, mentoring, walking her dog "Bella", reading/audible books, and anyone who knows her best also knows that she is a bona fide "movie-buff"!  Carmalita is big on the HEART condition and thereby believes in paying-it-forward!
