Emily Johnson  LMFT [she/her]

Emily Johnson
Emily is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Kentucky. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Human Development and Family Studies from Auburn University and went on to complete her Master’s degree in Family Science with an emphasis in Couple and Family Therapy at the University of Kentucky.

Emily’s style is collaborative, humanistic, and strength-based. She encourages clients to recognize their own strengths and set meaningful goals, while using a systemic framework to tailor treatment to each individual’s needs. Her aim is to provide new perspectives on life’s challenges and create a safe, non-judgmental space for clients to better understand and process their emotions.

She is experienced in working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families on a variety of concerns, including:

  • Grief and loss
  • Relationship difficulties
  • Self-esteem and identity
  • Women’s mental health
  • Trauma
  • Life transitions
  • Communication patterns
  • Anxiety
  • OCD

Emily believes one of the bravest steps a person can take is getting to know their own story. Because of this, she often incorporates Narrative Therapy, Family Systems, and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) into her work. By drawing from an eclectic approach, Emily strives to meet each client where they are and support them in exploring their journey, strengthening relationships, and navigating life’s most difficult moments.
