Michele Johnson, LMSW, LCSW

As a licensed clinical social worker with dual licensure in Michigan and Virginia, I bring both professional training and deep personal investment to the work of healing. I specialize in supporting adults — particularly those navigating identity, cultural transitions, and the weight of unresolved trauma — who are ready to move from surviving to thriving. My approach is culturally grounded, direct, and collaborative. I use CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and strengths-based tools not as scripts, but as frameworks we adapt together to fit your life.

​

My approach is culturally grounded, direct, and collaborative. Using CBT and Motivational Interviewing as flexible frameworks — not scripts — we'll identify what's keeping you stuck, challenge the stories that no longer serve you, and build practical tools you can actually use. Therapy with me is a space where your full self is welcome.

​

If you're ready to do the work — not the performative kind, but the real kind — I'd love to connect. Reach out for a free 15-minute consultation to see if we're a good fit. In-person and telehealth sessions available for Michigan and Virginia resident.  BCBS and most major insurances are accepted.   $175 per session without insurance.
