About

Hello! I'm so glad you're here and taking this step to find a therapist. My name is David Johnson, and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Los Angeles, California with six years of clinical experience. I specialize in working with trauma, OCD, and anxiety. Together, we'll focus on turning overwhelming difficulties into manageable growth, empowering you to tackle whatever challenges life throws your way. Navigating today's world can be tough—especially for neurodivergent individuals who often feel like systems weren't designed with them in mind. I strive to create a compassionate, tailored environment where you can build confidence, honor your unique perspective, and move through the world on your own terms. If you're ready to start this journey, I’d be honored to support you along the way.

Education & Licensure
M.S. in Mental Health Counseling from Georgia State University; Bachelors in Biology from Florida A&M University
Treatment Approach
What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

I was diagnosed with ADHD later in life, and looking back, I know how much I would have benefited from having more support during my school years. While I am deeply grateful for my own path and the insight it gave me, it also sparked my passion for making that process smoother for others. I want to draw on both my clinical expertise and lived experience to advocate for you, help you better understand your unique brain, and ensure you have the tailored support you deserve every step of the way."

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

I place a high value on bringing your unique skills, passions, and personal strengths directly into our work together. Therapy shouldn't be a one-size-fits-all approach—I work hard to ensure your treatment leverages what already makes you resilient. Together, we will navigate distressing moments and build practical coping tools that seamlessly translate to your everyday life outside our time together. I also believe that therapy can be both meaningful and lighthearted, so I love incorporating humor into our conversations. Healing is hard work, but creating a warm, comfortable atmosphere where you can laugh, relax, and truly be yourself is fundamental to our progress.
