About Clyde
Clyde Johnson is a Tennessee Psychologist (TN Psychologist 3637) with 13 years of clinical experience. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and depression. He also addresses related issues such as guilt and shame, communication problems, and life purpose.
He approaches therapy believing each person knows their own story and brings strengths to difficult situations. Sessions focus on clear, practical conversation. Clyde helps people name what feels heavy and looks for steps that feel manageable in daily life.
His work draws on several evidence-based approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered methods. Those tools are used to help people handle painful thoughts, change patterns that cause distress, and build more effective coping skills.
In session he listens for how a client’s history and relationships shape present difficulties. Attachment-based ideas inform how he talks about trust, closeness, and repeated patterns in relationships. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are available when emotional regulation and intense reactions are part of the problem.
Clyde practices in Tennessee and conducts therapy in English. He focuses on practical steps a person can try between sessions and on helping clients decide which strategies feel most useful for their situation.
How his approaches translate to online work
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It is useful when worry, panic, or low mood are driven by recurring thoughts or behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that align with their values. It can be helpful for persistent shame or guilt that interferes with daily life. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape expectations and reactions, and it can clarify patterns that keep someone feeling stuck.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about current problems, goals, and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. Adjustments are made as sessions progress so the plan stays relevant to what actually helps.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking since options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find that doing therapy from wherever they are that day helps them practice skills between sessions and apply changes to everyday routines.
