About Shila
LPC, Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 16 years of experience, based in Montana. Shila Johnson helps people manage stress and anxiety, work through relationship concerns, cope with grief, and build self-esteem and motivation.
Shila sees the person as the expert in their own life. She focuses on practical steps and clear goals during sessions. Conversations often look at thoughts, feelings, and small behavior changes that make daily life easier.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral techniques. That means she listens for each person’s priorities, then offers tools to test new ways of thinking and acting. She also uses emotionally-focused ideas to address patterns in close relationships.
Mindfulness and solution-focused strategies appear when people want brief, skills-based work. These methods are used to reduce immediate distress and to build routines that support steady progress. Sessions tend to be straightforward and task-oriented when that fits the person’s needs.
Shila’s style is collaborative and goal-directed. People can expect practical exercises, check-ins on progress, and shared decisions about next steps. The first meeting is used to set clear goals and decide which approaches to try together.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and on listening. In practice this means the therapist follows the client’s concerns and helps set goals that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions typically include identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing new behaviors between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which methods to try based on the client’s goals and preferences. That collaborative planning can include mixing approaches across sessions as needs change.
Session format details are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people use mindfulness exercises, thought records, and behavior plans as part of regular homework between meetings.
