I’m Andrieah Johnson, LMHC (Florida) and LPC (Georgia). I provide virtual, private-pay therapy for women 30+(especially Black women) who want individual therapy only (no couples/family therapy).
This work is for you if you’ve learned to cope and manage well — but you’re tired of what it costs you — and you’re ready to get underneath what you’ve been managing (not just add more coping strategies).
Who I’m a Strong Fit For
I help women (30+) in Florida and Georgia, especially Black women, who carry the impact of childhood bullying and relational hurt, and still find people-pleasing, caretaking, over-functioning, and perfectionism showing up—especially when it matters most. You’ve learned to cope and manage well — now you’re ready for depth-oriented, IFS-informed therapy that gets underneath what you’re managing and shifts the pattern at the root (not just more coping strategies).
Common concerns I help with include:
chronic bracing, anxiety, hyper-responsibility (anxiety / hypervigilance)
inner critic + perfectionism + self-worth strain (perfectionism / low self-esteem / self-criticism)
grief (what you lost, what you didn’t get) (grief / life transitions)
childhood bullying + relational hurt (peers/caregivers) (relational trauma / attachment wounds)
people-pleasing roles that won’t “turn off,” even when you’re capable (people-pleasing / codependency / over-functioning)
Common Patterns I Help With
You may be a strong fit if:
you’ve been the one others lean on (emotionally, practically, spiritually, or financially)
you default to people-pleasing, caretaking, fixing, smoothing conflict, or over-explaining to keep connection
you look “fine” on the outside, but feel chronic bracing, self-monitoring, or scanning for others’ needs
you’ve lived through childhood bullying or chronic social shame that still shows up as over-correcting, hiding needs, or fear of rejection
you feel resentment, anger, grief, or exhaustion because you’ve carried more than your share for a long time
you crave closeness and honesty without self-abandonment
you’ve done some “Phase 1” work (coping skills, insight, boundaries) and now want root-level change
Common relationship patterns I hear:
“I know where this came from, but it’s still here.”
“I’m managing, but not at peace”
“I’ve gone as far as I can working on this pattern in my life.”
When This May Not Be the Best Fit
This may not be the best fit right now if you need:
immediate crisis support (active suicidal intent/plan, recent self-harm, or you cannot stay safe)
a higher level of care as the primary need (detox, inpatient, IOP/PHP)
primarily skills-only/worksheet-based treatment or purely supportive check-ins as the main approach
open-ended therapy with no focus or direction
a therapist to “convince you” to do the work (low readiness with no movement)
I’m also not able to provide ESA letters, FMLA/disability paperwork, custody/court-related letters, or immigration evaluations.
If you’re in immediate danger or need urgent support, contact 988 (US) or your local emergency services.
How I Work (Approach + Style)
I use Internal Family Systems (IFS / parts work) — a depth-oriented approach that helps you understand why certain parts of you show up (like the people-pleaser, caretaker, fixer, perfectionist, or emotional manager), and how those parts learned to protect you.
If you’ve heard about inner child work, IFS is one type of structured parts-based therapy. When people-pleasing or relational manager parts take over, you may notice you don’t feel fully like your grounded adult self — you can feel more childlike, younger, or reactive in your relationships.
How I work: Warm and steady, with flexible structure. I track progress so therapy stays focused, and I’m direct with gentle challenge when it supports change.
I also give you real space to unpack how you got here — the relationship experiences that shaped you, what harmed or hurt you, and the impact it left behind (the beliefs, messages, values, and burdens you may still be carrying). We use regulation as support for depth — so you can stay present with what’s true without bypassing it.
Training, Experience, and Focus
Faith/spirituality: I’m a therapist who is a Christian. I don’t impose my beliefs, and I welcome your own spiritual or religious values as a supportive part of your healing if that matters to you.
In practice since: 2016
IFS training: Internal Family Systems (IFS) Level 3 trained
Additional training: Brainspotting (BSP) Phase 3 trained (used as a secondary modality)
Populations and themes I commonly work with:
Black women (30+)
Veterans and military-connected clients
High-responsibility leaders (C-suite / directors / AVPs)
anxiety and depression
people-pleasing, relational trauma patterns, perfectionism, and a harsh inner critic
resentment, burnout, and chronic over-functioning

Signs This Work May Fit You
You’re likely a strong match if:
you feel done with managing and want root-level change (not just more coping tools)
you can name patterns (people-pleasing, caretaking, over-functioning, perfectionism) and want to go underneath them
you’re willing to work with parts (inner critic, protector roles, younger parts) with curiosity rather than shame
you want a therapist who is warm, direct, and gently challenging, with enough structure to track progress
you carry a lot of responsibility (leadership roles, caregiving, community/family expectations, military culture) and want relief without self-abandonment
you want therapy that makes room to unpack what happened, name the impact, and unburden what you’ve been carrying
you’re open to focused work: brief therapy and/or a 1–3 day virtual intensive, with weekly/bi-weekly follow-up if needed
Quick Summary
If you’re a people-pleaser who has learned to cope and manage well — but you’re tired of what it costs you — this work may be a fit. Many of my clients look “fine” on the outside and function well, yet still carry anxiety, guilt, fear of rejection, or a constant sense of responsibility for other people.
In therapy, we get underneath what you’ve been managing: the relationship experiences that shaped these roles, the beliefs and burdens you’re still carrying, and the parts of you that learned to stay safe by over-functioning. The goal isn’t to throw people away to honor yourself — it’s to build a steadier identity where you matter too, with more honesty, ease, and choice in relationships.
How to Get Started
Start with a 45-minute consultation ($50) to confirm fit. You can book and pay through my secure online scheduling link.
In the consultation, we’ll clarify what you’re wanting help with, what you’ve been managing, and whether my approach is the right match. If we both agree it’s a fit, we’ll schedule an intake session.
During the intake, we’ll narrow the best next container for you — brief ongoing therapy (weekly/bi-weekly) and/or a 1–3 day virtual intensive — based on your goals, capacity, and readiness.
