Kelli Johnson, LCMHC, LPC

Kelli Johnson is a licensed counselor based in Sheridan, Wyoming, who brings an integrative, client-focused approach to supporting people through depression, anxiety, grief, and major life transitions. With eight years of clinical experience and credentials as an LCMHC and LPC - indicating state licensure as a professional counselor - she blends evidence-based interventions with body-centered practices shaped by her background in yoga instruction and breath work.

Kelli works with individuals facing issues such as loneliness, women’s health concerns, relationship and family struggles, trauma, addictions, and challenges with self-esteem and body image. Her toolkit includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-informed methods, mindfulness exercises, somatic techniques, narrative work to help clients reframe their stories, and bibliotherapy for those who find reading therapeutic.

She approaches counseling as a collaborative process, honoring each person as the expert on their own life while offering frameworks, skills, and gentle guidance to build resilience and move toward values-driven living. Kelli emphasizes a strong therapeutic relationship grounded in respect, acceptance, empathy, and authenticity, and she aims to help clients identify inner strengths, soothe difficult emotions, and create intentional paths forward.

Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Support

Kelli Johnson draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and attachment-informed approaches alongside client-centered principles to guide online work. ACT focuses on helping people clarify their values and take committed steps toward them even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns of connection that shape relationships and emotional responses, offering tools to repair relational wounds and improve intimacy and trust. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship in which the client’s experience guides the pace and focus of work.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Kelli collaborates with each person to identify methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She works with clients to adjust techniques over time so therapy remains practical and personally relevant.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexibility to meet from home or elsewhere, using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access care from locations across Wyoming where in-person options may be limited.
