    About Jeanni

    Jeanni Johnson-Green is a licensed clinical social worker who frames therapy as a team effort. She emphasizes honest, nonjudgmental care and helps people clarify what they want from counseling. Her approach feels warm and down-to-earth, with a practical focus on real-life changes.

    Jeanni earned a Master of Science in Social Work from Columbia University in New York City and has 15 years of experience. Much of her background comes from acute care settings, so she is used to working with people during stressful transitions and crises. She combines life experience, clinical methods, and a sense of humor to keep conversations grounded.

    In session she uses several approaches including Motivational Interviewing, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. These methods help people set goals, identify patterns that get in the way, and try small changes that add up over time. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused and Mindfulness-based ideas when they fit a person’s needs.

    Jeanni works with a range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, anger, self-esteem, bipolar and mood disorders, and coping with life changes. She also addresses multicultural concerns, workplace stress, and issues around discrimination and identity.

    Based in New York, Jeanni holds MN LICSW and NY LCSW credentials. Sessions are conducted in English. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to the therapist’s availability.

  2. How Jeanni’s approaches translate to online work

    Jeanni uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change, using questions and reflection to clarify what matters most. Client-Centered Therapy is central too, which means sessions focus on listening, empathy, and shaping goals around what the person wants. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical experiments that change behavior and mood.

    Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit your situation. This is a collaborative process where the plan can change as progress is made.

    Confirm current session options before booking so you know how she is offering care. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and remove the time spent traveling to appointments. It can also help people keep continuity of care during life changes. Licensed professionals adapt tools like Motivational Interviewing and CBT to the online setting to focus on goal-setting, skill practice, and problem-solving.
