Angel Johnson, LCSW

Angel Johnson sought out challenging work and credits her faith for guiding her into a Clinical Therapist role at a residential treatment facility serving at-risk adolescents, a position she has held since Fall 2022.

Before that, she spent ten years working as a School Social Worker in Illinois, gaining extensive experience as a crisis interventionist, change agent, and community liaison. Prior to the COVID crisis, she also worked as a subcontractor providing home-based therapy for children, adolescents, and adults, which expanded her case management skills and her ability to tailor interventions for each person she served.

She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), licensed to practice in both Illinois and Indiana. Her clinical work has addressed a wide range of challenges including abandonment, neglect, abuse, trauma, depression, anxiety, undiagnosed mental health disorders, domestic violence, and substance misuse.

Angel emphasizes the importance of building rapport, setting appropriate boundaries, and developing a strong therapeutic alliance. She describes herself as a careful listener who brings genuineness and empathy to her work. Passionate about the social work profession, she views helping others as a lifelong calling and is enthusiastic about partnering with clients. She also sees remote treatment as an important development in expanding access to mental health care.
