My name is Christine Johnson. I am currently licensed in the states of Texas and Oklahoma as a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have over 20 years of experience in the mental health field. I have experience in Domestic Violence Recovery as well as working with my favorite population, individuals with a dual diagnosis of Intellectual and/or Developmental Disabilities with co-occurring mental health disorders such as: schizophrenia; bipolar; intermittent explosive, anxiety, depression; and impulse control disorder.
I believe in creating a collaborative relationship with individuals I work with to facilitate self-awareness. Through self-awareness we can work as a team to address the individual in understanding that although they cannot control the world around them, they can control how they perceive and interpret things within their environment. In order to become the best versions of ourselves we need to challenge our internal dialogue and thoughts on a regular basis.
Although my go to therapy style is Cognitive Behavioral, I believe that every therapist needs to be versatile and willing to change for what is best for each individual that they are working with.
