About Trenese
Trenese Johnson is a licensed clinical social worker in Georgia with 28 years of professional experience. She focuses on practical help for everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, and parenting challenges. She takes a straightforward, person-centered approach.
Trenese believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the work. Sessions usually start by identifying immediate concerns and simple steps that feel doable right away.
Background and approach
Her style blends client-centered listening with skills-based tools. That can include techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to notice patterns of thinking, mindfulness practices to calm the body and mind, and solution-focused ideas to set small goals. Somatic work is used when physical tension shows up in stress or trauma.
Trenese aims for clear, compassionate conversations. She supports people through life changes, career questions, addiction struggles, and issues tied to identity such as LGBT concerns and experiences of prejudice. She also addresses caregiving strain, aging issues, sexual health topics, and non-traditional relationship structures when they are part of a client’s concerns.
Sessions are offered in English and are available through online formats. Trenese encourages a collaborative process that starts with what matters most to the client and builds practical steps from there.

How these approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s goals. Online sessions use that same stance to help clients name what matters, build on strengths, and set priorities that feel manageable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to notice and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. In online sessions this often looks like reviewing recent situations, practicing thought records, and setting small behavioral experiments between meetings. Mindfulness therapy invites simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and calm stress. Those exercises can be guided over video or audio and used as short tools during a work break or before bedtime. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made. Online formats offer flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, tracking progress, and immediate coaching between longer sessions.Questions people ask about Trenese
