About Lamara
Lamara Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Louisiana with 18 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting concerns, anger, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, self-esteem difficulties, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and related life changes.
She uses straightforward, skills-based methods in sessions. Conversations focus on what is happening at home and what can change in daily life. Practical tools from cognitive behavioral approaches are combined with person-centered listening and solution-focused planning.
Clients can expect a focus on strengths and clearer steps forward. Lamara pays attention to family dynamics and common parenting pressures without assuming one single solution. She brings nearly two decades of experience to help people sort priorities and try changes that fit their lives.
Her work includes addressing blended family challenges, communication problems, divorce and separation issues, substance use concerns, guilt and shame, impulsivity, and multicultural stressors. She also supports people dealing with pregnancy and childbirth stresses, prejudice and discrimination, and post-traumatic stress reactions.
Lamara aims to help clients identify manageable actions and track progress over time. Sessions combine talk, practical exercises, and short-term goal setting so adults juggling home responsibilities can test changes between meetings.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and supporting a person's own goals. It helps when someone wants to talk through home pressures and arrive at their own solutions rather than being told what to do. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, impulse control, and managing reactions around family stress.Choosing an approach is often collaborative. Lamara will discuss which methods fit a person's goals and try a few ways of working to see what helps. She adjusts focus over time as needs and family circumstances change.
