Kelli Johnson , LCMHC, LPC

Kelli Johnson is a licensed counselor practicing in Sheridan, Wyoming, holding both LCMHC and LPC credentials - licenses that indicate advanced training and authorization to provide professional mental health care. With eight years of clinical experience, she focuses on supporting people through depression, anxiety, grief, self-esteem concerns, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, addictions, and life transitions, among other struggles.

Her work blends evidence-informed psychotherapy with body-aware practices. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), somatic body-based techniques shaped by her training as a yoga teacher, mindfulness and breath work, narrative approaches that help clients reclaim meaning in their stories, and bibliotherapy for those who find reading therapeutic. This integrative stance is tailored to each person so interventions align with individual strengths, preferences, and goals.

Kelli frames counseling as a collaborative process in which the client is the expert on their own life. She brings professional frameworks, practical skills, and life experience to help people identify resilience, soothe and center themselves, and move forward with greater intention and clarity. She is committed to building a respectful, empathetic therapeutic relationship grounded in acceptance and authenticity.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters most to them and take committed action toward those values while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and emotions. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where shifting perspective and behavior matters.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships and how those patterns show up in adult connections. It supports work on intimacy-related concerns, relationship difficulties, codependency, and family-of-origin issues by strengthening emotional bonds and improving relational skills.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the therapist-client relationship as the primary vehicle for change, offering empathy, acceptance, and collaboration so clients can access their own insight and resilience. It suits people seeking a supportive, nonjudgmental space to process grief, stress, and identity questions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kelli collaborates with each person to identify methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts the plan as work progresses.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals and maintain continuity of care amid busy lives or geographic distance.
