About Lamara
Lamara Johnson greets people with calm and plainspoken care. She aims to help when stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, or relationship struggles feel overwhelming. Lamara works to make sessions straightforward and focused so families and individuals can move forward.
She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, or LCSW, with 18 years of experience in behavioral health in Louisiana. Lamara draws on practical methods to address parenting challenges, addictions, trauma and abuse, and issues related to identity and discrimination.
Background and approach
She also helps with intimacy concerns, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and life changes. In a session she centers each person’s strengths and real-life goals. Conversations often focus on specific patterns, workable skills, and small steps that fit daily routines.
Lamara mixes client-centered listening with goal-oriented strategies so people leave with clearer next steps. Her approach is rooted in respect for cultural background and individual differences. She pays attention to communication and blended family dynamics, divorce and separation effects, and the particular stress of caregiving or pregnancy and childbirth.
Practical problem solving and gentle guidance are part of her work. Lamara also uses brief motivational techniques when addiction or impulsivity complicates decisions. Sessions are collaborative and direct, with an emphasis on building self-love, repairing relationships, and managing strong emotions.
She invites people to bring what matters most and to try approaches that feel realistic for their lives.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person without judgment. Online sessions using this approach let people talk through feelings at their own pace while the therapist reflects and helps them make sense of what matters most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. In virtual sessions this can mean identifying thought patterns together, practicing new responses, and assigning short exercises between meetings.
Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and build commitment. It works well when decisions about substance use, impulsivity, or major life shifts are on the table, and it can be done in short check-ins online.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust as you go. That collaboration helps make therapy feel useful and relevant.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls let you use face-to-face interaction when you want it. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging provide quick check-ins and written reflections between appointments. These options give flexibility so therapy can fit into a busy life.
