About Trenese
Trenese Johnson is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Georgia with 28 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, intimacy concerns, parenting pressures, and other life changes. She also supports people facing trauma and abuse, addictions, ADHD, and issues related to sexuality and identity.
Trenese approaches counseling from a client-centered stance. She treats the person, not a label, and starts by listening to what matters most to each person. Conversations focus on real problems at home, at work, and in relationships, with practical steps people can try between sessions.
She uses several evidence-informed methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques to spot thought and behavior patterns, mindfulness to reduce reactivity, and somatic work to bring attention to bodily signals. Solution-focused ideas are used to set small, achievable goals and track progress.
Her style is straightforward and respectful. Sessions aim to highlight strengths and clarify next steps. Trenese encourages people to try adjustments and notice what changes, then refine plans together.
Many adults come for help with parenting stress, midlife questions, or issues around intimacy and sexuality. She also offers support for caregiver strain, aging concerns, and coping with prejudice or discrimination. Her practice is offered in English in Georgia.
How sessions work
How Trenese blends approaches and online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's perspective. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people identify their own priorities and next steps. This approach suits people who want guidance without being told what to do.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and change small behaviors that get in the way. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, and relationship thinking patterns.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and bring more awareness to day-to-day moments. It is often used alongside other methods to help with stress and emotional regulation.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Trenese will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She checks in and adjusts the plan as progress or setbacks appear.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel time, and keep shorter follow-up visits when needed. They also allow people to join from different locations within the same state and make it simpler to maintain momentum between appointments.
