Rooted in Connection

Connection, trust, authenticity, and genuine understanding are at the heart of meaningful therapy. My goal is to create a warm, supportive, and collaborative space where clients feel comfortable showing up as they are, exploring challenges, processing life's experiences, and building on their strengths. Therapy can be a place to feel heard, gain perspective, and navigate life's ups and downs with support along the way.

About Brooke Larson Johnson, LCSW, ACS

Hi, I'm Brooke!

Life can bring seasons that feel overwhelming, uncertain, or just not quite how we expected. Sometimes, having a place to talk things through, feel understood, and figure out what comes next can make a meaningful difference. Whether you're navigating a life transition, working through difficult emotions, or looking for support for your child or teen, therapy can be a space to slow down, explore what's going on, and find a path forward.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Approved Clinical Supervisor (ACS) with a Master of Social Work degree from Kennesaw State University, specializing in Children and Family Services. Throughout my career, I have worked in both nonprofit and private practice settings, supporting children, teens, adults, and families through a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and life challenges.

My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and tailored to each client's unique needs and goals. I strive to create a warm, supportive space where clients feel comfortable being themselves, exploring challenges, building insight, and developing practical tools for everyday life. Drawing from a cognitive behavioral framework, I help clients explore the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors while developing greater self-awareness, resilience, and effective coping strategies. I believe meaningful therapy is rooted in trust, authenticity, and genuine understanding, allowing clients to feel supported while working toward their personal goals.

I am trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Positive Discipline. My work integrates evidence-based practices with a person-centered approach, helping clients build on their strengths and develop skills that support long-term emotional well-being.

When working with children and teens, I often incorporate art and creative expression to help introduce and reinforce skills, encourage self-expression, and create meaningful reminders that can be carried into everyday life. I also value collaborating with parents, schools, and other supports when appropriate to help create a comprehensive and consistent approach to care.

It is a privilege to support clients through life's challenges, transitions, and opportunities for growth. Whether you are seeking support for yourself, your child, or your family, I look forward to connecting with you.

Best,

Brooke

A Space to Feel Comfortable

I believe therapy should feel like a space where you can slow down, feel comfortable, and be yourself. I created my office to be warm, inviting, and comfortable, with a space that feels a little less like an office and a little more like a place where you can feel at home. I offer in-person therapy in Woodstock, GA, as well as therapy virtually for clients across Georgia, so you can choose the setting that feels best for you.

I Commonly Support Clients With:

  • Anxiety, stress, and overwhelm

  • Life transitions, divorce, and adjustment

  • Teen concerns and adolescent development

  • Self-esteem, confidence, and identity

  • Emotional regulation and coping skills

  • Work, career, and life stressors

  • Relationships, family challenges, and communication

  • Social skills, friendships, and peer relationships

  • Perfectionism and high expectations

  • Behavioral and ADHD-related concerns

  • Parenting support and family dynamics

  • Grief and loss

  • Trauma and healing

  • Pregnancy, fertility, and family-building concerns

  • Personal growth and emotional well-being

Taking the next step.

Whether you're seeking support for yourself, your child, or your family, reaching out for therapy is a meaningful step. My goal is to provide a space where you feel heard, supported, and understood as we work together toward your goals.
