Therapy in Manchester Square | Black therapist Dr. Jacquelyn Johnson
I provide therapy and executive coaching for Black women 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 start by slowing down the pattern — the hypervigilance, the over-functioning, the body that never gets to rest. You don't have to have the answers yet. You just have to be willing to look honestly at what's been running the show.
02
Reclaim your voice and your needs
Together we untangle the internalized narratives that say you have to be strong, available, and self-sufficient to be worthy. This is where you practice something that may feel unfamiliar: honoring what you actually need without apology.
03
Redefine from the inside out
As healing unfolds, you'll develop a different relationship with your nervous system and yourself. You'll leave with tools that hold, rhythms that restore you, and a clearer sense of what your life looks like when anxiety isn't running it.

Individual Counseling for Black Women
Therapy for Black Women 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.
Executive Coaching for High-Achieving Women
Executive coaching supports women who lead teams, households, ministries, or businesses and feel the weight of constant decision making. This work focuses on sustainable leadership, boundaries, emotional regulation, and values based choices. Coaching helps you lead without disappearing yourself in the process. Sessions are virtual and structured to support clarity without adding more to your plate.
Anxiety Therapy
Anxiety therapy helps women who feel internally tense even when life appears stable. Anxiety often shows up as overthinking, difficulty resting, irritability, or feeling responsible for everything. In therapy, we work with both the body and the mind, exploring how anxiety has functioned as protection and how it no longer needs to run the show.
Depression Therapy
Depression therapy offers space for women who feel emotionally flat, disconnected, or quietly discouraged while still functioning. Depression does not always look like sadness. Sometimes it looks like numbness, exhaustion, or constant pushing through. Therapy helps restore emotional connection, self compassion, and a sense of internal safety
Therapy for Perfectionism
Therapy for perfectionism supports women whose standards for themselves are relentless. Often rooted in survival and expectation, perfectionism can lead to burnout and self abandonment. This work helps loosen the grip of performance and rebuild worth that is not tied to productivity or approval.
Life Coaching for Women
Life coaching is for women who feel capable yet unclear about what they want next. Coaching supports decision making, values alignment, and intentional living without pressure or urgency. This work is especially helpful during transitions or seasons of reevaluation.
Therapy for Executives
Therapy for executives provides confidential emotional support for women in leadership roles who feel isolated, overextended, or unseen. This work addresses stress, identity, and emotional containment while respecting professional and personal boundaries.
Therapy for Black Women
Therapy for Black women centers cultural context, lived experience, and emotional reality. This work addresses strength fatigue, emotional labor, and the absence of safe places to rest. Therapy becomes a space to exhale, be honest, and reconnect with yourself beyond survival mode.
I serve women in Manchester Square
I work with women in Manchester Square and nearby South Los Angeles neighborhoods who carry family responsibility, community involvement, and personal resilience with little room for vulnerability. This area is known for its strong family networks, long standing homes, and everyday leadership, including nearby areas such as Hyde Park, Inglewood, and View Park Windsor Hills, close to corridors like Manchester Avenue and local community parks. For several years, I have supported Black women and women of color here through faith integrated therapy and coaching that respects cultural values, emotional truth, and spiritual life. By offering virtual sessions, I reduce common barriers like travel time while staying deeply committed to serving women in this community with care that feels steady, thoughtful, and personal.

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.
