Professional statement

Johnna Stilson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). She also holds an additional certificate as a National Certified Counselor. As the owner of Sunshine Counseling Inc, she provides remote therapy services to adult clients throughout the states of Florida and Colorado. With over 15 years of experience, Johnna possesses a wealth of knowledge in working with individuals across various age groups. Many of her clients seek her compassionate support to overcome grief, recover from illness, navigate trauma, or overcome a major life obstacle.

Johnna adopts a holistic approach to therapy, drawing from a diverse range of modalities to meet each client's unique needs. One of the evidence-based therapy techniques she employs is EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), a powerful and effective approach that is aimed at reprocessing and healing distressing memories from the past. Additionally, clients benefit from skills acquired through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), aiding the mind-body connection with Somatic Therapy, and other mindfulness-based approaches. Johnna's primary objective is to equip clients with healing tools they can implement to alleviate or reduce their symptoms and foster stability in their lives. Furthermore, with longer term therapy, she is able to delve into the underlying issues that may have contributed to a client's present stressors.

Beyond her work with individual clients, Johnna also offers virtual support groups that serve as valuable resources for individuals navigating life's challenges. These include a Mindfulness Practice for Mental Health group and a Self-Compassion group, providing clients with opportunities to develop connections to others on similar journeys.

Johnna is also a lover of animals and is able to provide Emotional Support Animal letters upon evaluation for those that qualify.


Message to clients

I understand taking this first step into starting therapy can be the most difficult. I hope to provide an approachable atmosphere without judgement and discuss any questions you have about the therapy process along the way. Ultimately I aim to provide a "client-centered approach" meaning that you share the goals you wish to reach or the direction you want to go and I will assist you in getting there. I am also happy to have a free consultation phone call to see if we are a good fit. I encourage you to reach out and get the help you need.
