Laura Johnson, LPC

Laura Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with five years of clinical experience. She trained in mental health counseling and is completing a Ph.D. program in advanced human behavior. She helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns. Her tone is calm and collaborative in session.

Clients can expect sessions grounded in a client-centered way of working. That means Laura partners with each person to build a plan that fits their life and goals. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based work to match tools to the problem at hand.

Laura has worked in a range of settings, including courts, jails, and community programs, and has supported people from diverse backgrounds. She has experience with caregiving stress, blended family concerns, grief, and issues tied to substance use and recovery. She also addresses concerns like sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

In sessions she aims to create a respectful, down-to-earth atmosphere. Conversations focus on practical steps, skill building, and clarifying values so people can make steady changes. She encourages clients to set realistic goals and to try simple, achievable strategies between meetings.

Outside of work Laura spends time with her family and dogs and enjoys outdoor activities like camping and trail riding. Prospective clients who want to begin can use the site's Start Therapy flow to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session.

How Laura blends proven approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters most and take small steps toward those values. It focuses less on eliminating thoughts and more on changing how people respond to them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a skills-based approach that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Sessions often include simple exercises to test unhelpful thinking and to build new habits for mood, sleep, and behavior challenges.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape patterns in current relationships and safety. It can help people who struggle with closeness, trust, or repeated relationship conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laura will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, history, and what feels practical. She adjusts tools over time based on progress and preference.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can cover many core concerns effectively via remote sessions when the approach and pace suit the person.
