About Stacy
Dr. Stacy Johnston is a California psychologist with 32 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, low self-esteem, and depression. She emphasizes a respectful, down-to-earth approach and views each person as the expert on their own life.
Her style centers on listening first and then helping people build practical steps forward. She leans on Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client's lead and to make space for what matters most to them. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, achievable goals.
Dr. Johnston offers asynchronous text messaging as a session option. She prefers this format because it is flexible, allows clients to write out thoughts, and enables multiple exchanges without strict scheduling. Responses typically arrive within a few hours and no later than 12 hours, with more exchanges possible on busier days.
Her approach is collaborative and pragmatic. She helps people break down relationship patterns, address attachment and abandonment concerns, and work on forgiveness, guilt, or shame. She also supports those dealing with infidelity, divorce and separation, and family of origin issues.
People who choose to work with her find a steady, patient perspective and clear suggestions for change. To get started, visitors select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.
