Pennie Johnson, LPC, CSAT
About Me
Hello, my name is Pennie. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), EMDR Level I and II trained clinician, and a Level One Murray Method Instructor. Since becoming a therapist in 2011, I have worked across a variety of settings, including residential treatment centers, hospital systems, private practice, and group environments.
I am passionate about helping individuals who are struggling with problematic sexual behaviors, trauma, and life transitions such as divorce, widowhood, grief, and empty nesting. My work is grounded in both clinical expertise and compassion, meeting clients where they are while supporting meaningful, lasting change.
In addition to my clinical work, I have published books, peer-reviewed articles, and children’s literature, and I have spoken at local, national, and international levels.
My passion is to walk alongside individuals as they navigate difficult seasons—offering clarity, compassion, and steady support. I believe in honoring both resilience and vulnerability, helping people reconnect with themselves, move through adversity, and move forward with purpose.
