As a licensed therapist in North Carolina, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients address depression, anxiety, life transitions, and interpersonal challenges. I bring a compassionate, culturally responsive approach to therapy, with a deep commitment to understanding each person's unique journey.
My therapeutic work focuses on empowering clients through self-love, improved communication, and healing from challenging experiences. I offer supportive guidance for individuals struggling with social anxiety, mood disorders, grief, and personal growth. My approach is rooted in creating a safe, affirming space where clients can explore their emotions and develop meaningful strategies for wellness.
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I work collaboratively with clients to build resilience, challenge limiting beliefs, and cultivate authentic connections.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dionna Smith-Johnson. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Very engaged and inviting tone. Focuses on all possible needs vs labeling things into one.
