Clinical Social Work Practice – Christine Johansson, LCSW
Based in Healdsburg, California, Christine Johansson, LCSW, provides online therapy to individual adults, couples, and groups throughout the state of California. The clinician holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential and brings more than thirty years of professional experience to her practice, working across individual, couples, and group therapy contexts.
The practice integrates cognitive behavioral and mindfulness-based frameworks. Johansson works collaboratively with clients to identify negative beliefs and attitudes that contribute to emotional distress, then supports each person in drawing on those insights to pursue meaningful life changes. The therapeutic model is described as collaborative and client-focused, with the clinician guiding the process rather than prescribing a fixed path. This orientation reflects a belief that understanding the sources of suffering is itself a step toward lasting change.
Areas addressed by the practice include trauma, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, major life transitions, stress management, and communication difficulties. The clinician is also trained in EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and offers this modality specifically for clients managing PTSD related to recent or past traumatic experiences. EMDR is presented as a distinct offering alongside the general cognitive behavioral and mindfulness work central to the practice.
Services span individual therapy, couples counseling, and group therapy formats. All sessions are conducted online, making the practice accessible to California residents across the state without requiring in-person travel. The telehealth model extends professional clinical support to individuals in communities throughout California, including those located outside major metropolitan centers. Online delivery means the clinician’s depth of experience is available to a wide range of clients statewide.
Intake forms are referenced on the website, indicating an established process for onboarding new clients.
