About Vielka Johnson

Vielka E. Johnson brings a long-standing commitment to mental health care informed by formal training and varied clinical experience. She earned a BA in Psychology from the University of Colorado in 1996, relocated to San Antonio, Texas in 1998 to pursue graduate studies, and completed a master’s degree in counseling before becoming licensed in 2006 by the Texas State Board of Examiners as a Licensed Professional Counselor. A Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) is a state-licensed mental health clinician who provides counseling and psychotherapy.

Over two decades of practice have given her the opportunity to work with a wide and diverse population. Her background is primarily with children and adolescents ages 3 to 18, while also supporting young adults and older adults up to age 65 and beyond. She has practiced in community agencies, school settings, and residential facilities, gaining experience with therapeutic foster care children, domestic violence situations, mental and physical abuse, mobile crisis response, and crisis intervention.

Trained in Trauma-Focused CBT, she blends evidence-informed methods with a flexible, client-centered stance, adapting modalities to meet each person’s needs. She focuses on helping clients identify strengths and areas for growth, teaching practical skills to reach goals and improve daily functioning, and partnering with families when appropriate to foster healing and resilience.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the therapeutic relationship and the client’s own goals. The therapist listens closely, offers empathy, and supports the client in identifying personal strengths and choices to guide growth and decision making. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; it teaches practical strategies to manage anxiety, depression, and stress by changing unhelpful thinking patterns and building coping skills. Trauma-Focused Therapy draws on specialized techniques to address the impact of traumatic experiences, helping clients process difficult memories and develop tools to reduce trauma-related symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Vielka Johnson works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies over time as progress and circumstances evolve. Licensed professionals aim to tailor care rather than apply a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for many people. Video calls and phone sessions provide face-to-face interaction without travel, while live chat and text-based messaging allow more frequent check-ins and support between sessions. These options help make therapy more accessible around work, school, caregiving responsibilities, and geographic constraints, while allowing therapists to deliver consistent, ongoing care.
