Rogue Counseling

About Shirley Johnson, LCSW

I am passionate about helping individuals and couples overcome challenges, discover their strength, and achieve balance in their lives. I have dedicated my 40-year career to providing compassionate and supportive therapy to clients from diverse backgrounds and walks of life.

My journey in this field began with a Master's degree in Social Work from Portland State University, followed by rigorous licensing as a Clinical Social Worker. I stay current with the latest advancements through ongoing professional development. My ethical practice is guided by the standards of both the National Association of Social Workers and the Oregon Board of Clinical Social Workers.

Beyond the clinical expertise, I am a second-generation Oregonian who thrives on building genuine connections with clients. I am married for over 25 years and the proud parent of three extraordinary children and two beautiful grandsons. My deep connection to the Rogue Valley inspires my appreciation for the beauty of this region and the resilience of its people.

About Therapy

Therapy can be a transformative journey. It offers a safe and supportive space to explore unresolved issues, overcome challenges, and achieve personal growth. I work collaboratively with clients to identify their unique needs and goals. Together, we can:

• Gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their anxieties.
• Develop coping strategies to manage stress, anxiety, and depression.
• Strengthen communication and interpersonal skills.
• Identify and change unhealthy patterns of thinking and behavior.
• Find resolution to past traumas and painful experiences.

Our Approach

I utilize evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to tailor my approach to each client's needs. I believe therapy should be a collaborative process, empowering clients to become active participants in their healing journeys.
