About Karissa Johnson (She/Her)
Karissa Johnson is a licensed Master of Social Work in the State of Michigan. She received her master’s degree from Michigan State University. Karissa’s background includes medical and clinical social work. Therapeutic influences include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Solution Focused Therapy, motivational interviewing and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Karissa believes that in order for a therapist and client to make significant change, building a strong therapeutic relationship is essential. She aims to provide a respectful, safe, and supportive environment where the client and therapist are free to be open and honest. Once a trustful partnership is built, the client’s specific needs can be identified, and therapy goals can be tailored to those needs.
