M.A., Registered Clinical Mental Health Counseling Intern – Licensure Candidate

Feeling trapped in patterns of fear, avoidance, or emotional overwhelm can make finding a clear path forward feel almost impossible. You do not have to navigate life’s heaviest transitions, unresolved pain, or constant worry on your own.

My name is Dedrick Johnson, RMHCI, and I support clients who are ready to gain clarity, better understand themselves, and create meaningful, lasting change. I work primarily with adolescents and adults who know something needs to shift—whether you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from the life you want to live—and are looking for practical ways to move forward.

My approach combines deep compassion with clear purpose. I specialize in supporting individuals dealing with chronic anxiety, panic symptoms, trauma-related concerns, relationship stress, difficult life transitions, and the long-term emotional challenges that accompany substance use recovery.

I also offer an affirming, nonjudgmental environment to process complex questions around identity, sexuality, self-acceptance, and evolving spiritual or religious beliefs. Together, we can work through feelings of guilt or conflict so you can align with your authentic self. By integrating EMDR, mindfulness, somatic awareness, cognitive-behavioral strategies, and solution-focused interventions, I help you translate personal motivation into actionable goals and measurable progress.

How I Can Help

  • Anxiety & Trauma Relief: Develop practical tools to manage panic symptoms, chronic anxiety, and trauma-related stress while understanding how stress affects your mind and body.
  • Identity & Personal Alignment: Work through feelings of guilt, shame, or confusion regarding identity, sexuality, and values to foster deep self-acceptance.
  • Spiritual & Faith Transitions: Process religious doubts, spiritual experiences, and evolving beliefs in an open, nonjudgmental space.
  • Substance Recovery & Stress: Address the long-term emotional challenges and relationship stress that often accompany recovery from substance use.
  • In-Person & Virtual Care: I provide flexible care options to fit your lifestyle, offering in-person sessions in Fort Myers as well as telehealth options for clients throughout the state of Florida.

If you are ready to move beyond simply managing symptoms and begin creating meaningful change, I invite you to reach out today to schedule a consultation.
