Therapy in Manchester Square  | Counselor  Dr. Jacquelyn Johnson

I provide Christian therapy and executive coaching for Black women and women of color who are used to being the steady one. The one who figures it out. The one others lean on. This work is for women who carry responsibility with grace while privately feeling worn down, emotionally stretched, or spiritually conflicted about needing support. My role is to offer care that holds your faith, your strength, and your exhaustion at the same time.


Manchester Square is a neighborhood shaped by endurance, family loyalty, and everyday leadership. Many women here are managing careers, caregiving, church life, and community responsibility all at once. Strength is expected. Independence is praised. Rest is often postponed. Over time, that pattern can lead to emotional shutdown, anxiety, or a quiet sense of losing yourself while still showing up for everyone else.


Women here seek out this work when pushing through no longer works. You do not need to be in crisis to deserve care. You do not need to justify your need for support. This is a space where your inner life is treated with seriousness and respect


Ready to get started?

01

Clarify what’s no longer working


We’ll explore what’s bringing you in, the weight you’ve been carrying, and what you’re hoping will feel different. We start by exploring the patterns, roles, and beliefs that have been keeping you stuck in over-functioning, burnout, and emotional disconnection, especially those shaped by faith, culture, and performance.


02

Reclaim your voice and emotional truth


Together, we’ll begin to untangle the internalized narratives that say you have to be strong, silent, or selfless to be worthy. This is where you’ll practice honoring your needs, setting sacred boundaries, and telling yourself the truth, without shame.


03

Redefine your life from the inside out


As healing unfolds, we’ll build a more honest, faith-affirming relationship with yourself and your emotional world. You’ll walk away with tools to support your growth, rhythms that restore you, and a renewed sense of spiritual and emotional alignment.

  • Christian Counseling for Women

    Christian therapy is for women who want emotional support without disconnecting from their faith. In our work, spiritual life and psychological care are not competing forces. They inform each other. Many clients come in wrestling with guilt around asking for help, believing strength means silence. Therapy becomes a place to untangle those beliefs and reconnect with God, self, and emotional truth in a grounded way. We focus on chronic stress, burnout, anxiety, perfectionism, emotional numbing, and the pressure to always be okay. Sessions are offered virtually, supporting women in Manchester Square who need flexibility and privacy while navigating full lives.

FAQ about my counseling services

  • How does virtual therapy work?

    At the time of your appointment, you simply log into a secure video link from your computer, tablet, or phone. Many clients enjoy the flexibility of meeting from their own space, which often makes it easier to stay consistent.

  • Do you accept insurance?

    I do not bill insurance directly. Some clients choose to send the receipts I provide to their insurer to see if reimbursement is possible. Paying privately allows us to set the pace and goals of therapy without outside limitations.

  • What if I need to cancel or reschedule a session?

    If you need to make a change, I ask for at least 24 hours of notice. This way we can adjust your schedule while keeping time available for other clients as well. Sessions canceled with less notice may include a fee.

  • Is virtual therapy effective?

    Yes. Online sessions offer the same benefits as in-person therapy. In fact, many clients share that being in their own environment makes it easier to open up and feel safe during the process.

  • How do I know if this is the right fit?

    You’ll know it’s a good fit if you feel comfortable, understood, and supported. If sessions leave you with more clarity and less weight on your shoulders, that’s a strong sign therapy is working for you.
