INTROVERTED

OVERTHINKER,

THE

who learned to turn introversion into innovation and deep thought into strategy + perspective synergy through emotional intelligence. 

Life can be complicated.

Emotional intelligence gives you the tools to lead it well.

I know firsthand how overwhelming complexity can feel. As an Introverted Overthinker, I’ve spent years transforming introspection into innovation and overthinking into strategy.

That journey taught me how to use emotional intelligence to cut through the noise, focus on what matters, and create meaningful change.

Now, I teach others how to do the same.

Whether you are

An individual seeking clarity in the midst of change or trying to move forward in a way that feels aligned…

A leader juggling tough decisions while trying to create a connected and motivated culture. Struggling to balance it all without burning out…

A medical professional balancing patient care, high-stakes decisions, and the emotional demands of your work…

A law enforcement officer managing intense situations where trust, empathy, and clear communication are critical…

A municipal leader striving to build trust, bridge divides, and create policies that matter…

An organization ready to improve communication, trust, or equity but unsure where to start…

The truth is, real progress doesn’t come from pushing harder—it comes from focusing on what matters most.

That’s where I come in.

What I do

I partner with individuals and organizations to harness the power of emotional intelligence—helping you navigate challenges, strengthen relationships, and create lasting, meaningful change.

One of the ways I do this is through my signature CTRL ALT DEL framework, a powerful approach designed to help you reset and realign your internal operating system:

Gain control by increasing self-awareness, clarify your priorities, and focus on what truly matters.

Shift your perspective, adjust your mindset and strategies to refine and align with your core values and foster resilience.

 Let go of outdated patterns, unproductive habits, and strategies that hinder your growth.

By engaging with this framework, you’ll not only build emotional intelligence but also gain the clarity and tools you need to create transformational change—both personally and professionally.

What does that mean? It means I work with you through 1:1 coaching and consulting to:

  • Build self-awareness and emotional agility so you can respond thoughtfully, not reactively.

  • Strengthen trust, communication, and empathy in your relationships—whether at work or at home.

  • Lead with clarity, connection, and purpose, even in the most demanding circumstances.

  • Create a culture and climate where collaboration, equity, and innovation thrive.

Whether this is a deeply personal journey, you’re managing a team, making life-and-death decisions, or building bridges in your community, emotional intelligence is the foundation for success.

Hey ya’ll! I’m Dr. Vee Johnson, widely known as The EQ Doctor.
I work at the intersection of emotional intelligence, personal development, and organizational culture, with a mission to help individuals and organizations effectively harness the power of emotions and social interaction.

As a coach, strategist, consultant, and speaker, I simplify the complexities of emotional intelligence (EQ) to revolutionize how we think, connect, and lead. My approach is rooted in “redesigning the brain’s interior”—shifting thought patterns, elevating emotional intelligence, and optimizing social dynamics to create real, lasting change.

Combining insights from neuroscience and psychology with my own consciously disruptive research, I develop innovative tools and strategies to help people unlock their full potential.

My mission is to:

  • Inspire curiosity that sparks meaningful exploration and growth.

  • Facilitate alignment to help others live with clarity and purpose.

  • Build resilience to navigate challenges with confidence and strength.

  • Repair organizational culture and climate by fostering trust, equity, and authentic connection.

  • Elevate well-being by nurturing healthier, more thriving communities.

My work has positioned me as a trusted advisor and partner to individuals from all walks of life, medical professionals, executives, and community leaders, empowering them to live a life of purpose, alignment, and growth.

By reshaping the way we perceive and use our mental and emotional capacities, we can create profound and lasting positive change in our lives and the world.

That’s What They Said.

“It's a little unorthodox perhaps for a church to contract a coach but it is one of the best decisions we could have made. Dr. LaVita provided leadership development and training to our staff. As church leader, I took the 360 assessment. I learned quite a bit about myself and the way others perceived me to be. Armed with new knowledge - we quickly noticed a difference in the way we operated and the feedback from others was overwhelmingly positive.”

- Christ Believers Ministries

“Hands down the best workshops I have ever attended. She made me realize what I needed and didn't need in my life.”

- Tracie F.

“The level of expertise Dr. Johnson brought to our company's advisory board was unmatched.”
