Chanel Johnson, LPC

Who I Work With

I regularly work with middle and high school kids along with young adults. With young adults in particular, they may be college students or adults in their mid-to-late 30s. I especially enjoy working with young adults. I connect best with young adults and teens who value a space where they can speak openly and be their genuine selves.

Areas I Help With

I help clients with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, stress, family conflict and behavioral challenges,

My Approach to Counseling

My counseling style combines a person-centered approach with Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused techniques. I like to explore with clients how thoughts and behaviors affect their goals while focusing on personal strengths and practical solutions to help them navigate challenges with confidence.

What You Can Expect Working With Me

I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable space where we move at your pace, and I will never push you to discuss sensitive topics before you feel ready. My goal is to ensure you feel fully heard and empowered as we explore your concerns together in your own time. I believe therapy does not always have to feel heavy or strict to be effective. Having humor, when appropriate, can open doors, practice self-kindness, and remind people that it's okay to have space for joy while working through difficult times.

Telehealth / In-Person Availability

I provide telehealth and in-person sessions for clients over the age of 13. For school-aged children under the age of 12, I would prefer to do in-person sessions.

Taking that step toward therapy can feel big, but you don't have to navigate it alone. We will move entirely at your own pace, and I am here to support every step of the way. Contact Virginia Counseling Associates to learn more about scheduling an appointment.
