About Kianni
Kianni Johnson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with six years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, low self-esteem, and relationship concerns. Kianni also focuses on attachment issues, codependency, communication problems, control issues, and mood-related challenges.
Her approach combines Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) with client-centered care and skills from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). In sessions she helps clients name difficult emotions, notice patterns in relationships, and practice concrete skills for managing intense feelings.
Kianni describes therapy as a practical process. She prioritizes tools that fit into everyday life and supports gradual change rather than quick fixes. Conversations include examining how identity and culture affect feelings and behavior.
Her background also includes work related to anger management and behavioral support. That experience informs short-term strategies for impulse control, communication, and handling conflict. She frames these options alongside longer-term work on self-worth and mood regulation.
Sessions are conducted in English and take place from her New York practice. Prospective clients should use the listed appointment process to see current session options and scheduling details.
How Kianni blends approaches for online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) emphasizes naming and working with emotions that shape relationships and interaction patterns. It can help people recognize attachment-related responses and shift how they relate to others and to their own feelings.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. This approach supports self-exploration and helps people clarify values and goals as they talk through difficult topics.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical strategies for changing unhelpful patterns. It is often used alongside emotion-focused work to provide concrete tools for mood and anxiety management.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kianni will work with each client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She blends emotion-focused work with skill-building so clients can practice new ways of responding both in and out of sessions.
