About Lamara

Lamara Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Louisiana who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and substance concerns. She also helps people coping with grief, trauma, anger, mood concerns, ADHD, and issues related to identity and discrimination. Lamara’s work is a fit for men looking to address emotional health and life pressures alongside other adults navigating change.

She uses straightforward, strengths-focused care in sessions. Conversations start with what matters to the person now. Lamara listens for practical patterns and works with each person to set clear, manageable goals. Small steps and consistent check-ins guide the work.

Her practice draws on client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral tools to help people notice thinking and behavior patterns that affect mood and relationships. Mindfulness techniques support stress management and grounding skills. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods are used when people want to shift habits or tackle specific problems quickly.

With 18 years of experience, Lamara has worked across concerns such as blended family issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, addiction, and post-traumatic stress. She emphasizes people’s existing strengths and practical solutions over labels. Sessions aim to build skills that carry into daily life.

Sessions are conducted in English and are anchored in respect for cultural and life differences. People who want to begin are asked to use the site’s Start Therapy flow to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their needs.

How Lamara’s approaches fit into online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and values, offering space to talk and decide what matters most. It helps people clarify priorities and build confidence through supportive listening. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence mood and relationships, and introduces practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Lamara will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and adapt methods over time. Sessions can blend client-centered listening with CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, or motivational interviewing depending on what the person wants to work on.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. It can also make it simpler to continue momentum between in-person commitments. The focus is on what helps you make steady progress in everyday life.
