About Jeanni

Jeanni Johnson-Green is a licensed clinical social worker who brings 15 years of experience to her practice. She approaches therapy as a collaborative process and aims to help people clarify their goals and make steady progress. She is warm, attentive, and uses a down-to-earth style in sessions.

She earned a Master of Science in Social Work from Columbia University. Over her career she has worked in acute care settings and applies that background to help people navigate stressful life moments. Her methods draw from several practical approaches rather than a single technique.

In sessions she combines client-centered conversation with concrete tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. She also uses emotionally-focused ideas and motivational interviewing when they fit the client’s situation. This mix is used to address anxiety, depression, anger, and relationship concerns among other issues.

Her focus areas include coping with life changes, grief, self-esteem, workplace stress, and multicultural concerns. She also helps people who are dealing with intimacy-related issues, communication problems, and feelings of isolation. She names listening and clear goal-setting as central parts of the work.

Jeanni practices in New York and offers her clinical perspective with straightforward language and occasional humor. People who prefer a practical, supportive approach often find her style approachable. Prospective clients should confirm session options when they book.

How her approaches translate to online work

Jeanni uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people manage emotions and change unhelpful patterns. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, understanding your goals, and shaping the work around what matters most to you. Cognitive behavioral therapy offers practical exercises and steps to test and change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going.

She also draws on emotionally-focused ideas to help people identify and work through strong feelings in relationships. These approaches are described and tried together so the therapist and client can see what helps. Finding the right fit is part of the process; she will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences.

Session format options are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow for check-ins that align with work or family schedules. Licensed professionals can adapt the same therapeutic approaches to remote sessions to help people build coping skills and address anger, anxiety, and relationship concerns without changing the core methods used in person.
