D. Robert Johnson

Robert Johnson is a Christian author, speaker, and journalism graduate of Arizona State University, where he earned his degree magna cum laude. He spent his career in public relations, specializing in customer relations and executive ghostwriting,work that required making complex ideas understandable and practical for everyday audiences.

After living with obsessive-compulsive disorder for more than twenty years and experiencing a mental health crisis in 2020, Johnson began studying Scripture through the lens of OCD. What started as a personal search for clarity became a discovery of how deeply biblical truth aligns with effective therapeutic principles. 

In The Word on OCD, Johnson brings together lived experience, clinical respect, and faith-rooted insight to help Christians integrate spiritual truth with mental health treatment—offering clarity, compassion, and hope for those navigating OCD and for the people who walk alongside them.
