Clyde Johnson

Clyde Johnson is a Tennessee psychologist (TN Psychologist 3637) with 13 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. He also focuses on life purpose questions and related concerns such as communication problems, isolation, and grief from separation.

He sees people who feel stuck after a change, unsure what comes next, or doubting their direction. Clyde treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical, with clear steps to try between meetings.

His practice draws on several evidence-informed approaches that help people manage difficult feelings and make different choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and shift unhelpful thought patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and act in line with those values. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current connection and trust.

He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and Client-Centered Therapy techniques to keep discussions focused on the person’s concerns. Sessions typically combine conversation with concrete exercises and skill practice. Clyde works with issues common to veterans, men, and people facing aging or life-stage transitions.

He offers services in Tennessee and conducts work in English. Prospective clients are invited to review session options and scheduling steps before booking a first session.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-based actions even when feelings are strong. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and life-purpose questions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing them with practical behavior changes and homework. It helps with persistent anxiety, panic, and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Clyde will discuss which methods fit your situation and goals, and the two of you will decide together what to try first. That collaborative process can include mixing approaches as needs change over time.

Confirm available session formats before booking since the biography did not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules require it. Some formats use video and some use audio only; choose whatever helps you focus and participate. The therapist will also suggest practical exercises and tools that work well in a remote setting and that you can practice between sessions.
