Meet your counselor

Daxton Johnson, CMHC

Seeking help takes courage. My goal as a counselor is to provide a space where individuals feel heard, understood, and supported as they navigate life’s challenges.

I work with individuals who are struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, and deeply rooted beliefs that impact emotional well-being and personal growth. Therapy is not simply about talking through problems; it’s about discovering new ways to understand yourself and developing the tools needed to move forward.

Education & Training

I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Grand Canyon University and have years of experience helping and guiding individuals through a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges.

My work is guided by a commitment to compassionate care, evidence-based practices, and helping clients develop meaningful and lasting change.

Additionally, I am a self-published author/writer. Currently, I have only written and published one book, which tells the personal story of mine and my wife’s nine-year infertility journey, the life wisdoms we learned, and how others who are facing infertility can lean on the same wisdom we did. The book is titled “A Fresh Dose of Hope: A Husband’s Journey Through Infertility and the Bible”. It can be found for purchase on Amazon via the linked cover image.

Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with my wife, child, and shiba inu pup. There are several other books floating in my head, ready and waiting to be written and brought to life. I am fluent in sarcasm and dad jokes, and as much as I enjoy the deep moments of insight with my clients, I also enjoy the bursts of laughter that are likely to happen in my therapy office as well.

Counseling Philosophy

I believe that healing occurs when individuals feel both supported and empowered. Therapy should be a place where people feel safe to explore difficult experiences while also being challenged to grow.

At Lionheart Counseling, the goal is to help individuals:

• Understand their story and experiences
• Develop practical skills for emotional health
• Build resilience and confidence
• Move toward a more meaningful and fulfilling life
