About Kianni
Kianni Johnson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She helps people manage anger, anxiety, stress, depression, and relationship struggles. Her tone is practical and direct, focused on everyday steps people can take to feel steadier.
Kianni draws on six years of clinical experience to help people recognize patterns that lead to outbursts, low mood, or difficult interactions. Sessions focus on clear goals and skills you can use between meetings.
Background and approach
She pays attention to how identity and culture shape feelings and behavior. Her work blends talking and action. She uses client-centered approaches to follow a person’s priorities.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and change reactions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides practical skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. In sessions she helps people practice new ways of responding to anger, manage impulsivity, and rebuild trust after breaches like infidelity or repeated hurt.
She also addresses shame, guilt, codependency, and communication problems that often underlie conflict. Kianni aims for sustainable change rather than quick fixes. That means breaking big problems into small, manageable steps and building habits that last.
The approach is collaborative - goals are set together and progress is checked regularly.

Practical approaches for anger and mood online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and values. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects feelings, and helps people clarify what matters most. This approach helps when someone needs a respectful space to sort out emotions and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior. It teaches concrete steps to challenge unhelpful thoughts and practice different responses. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and anger when people want clear tools to change reactions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, known as DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and stronger interpersonal skills. It offers specific skills to reduce impulsive actions and manage intense feelings without making the situation worse.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Kianni works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. She will discuss options, try techniques in sessions, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These formats make regular care more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
