About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Johnson is a Wisconsin-licensed clinical social worker with 22 years of practice helping adults navigate mood and life challenges.

Background and approach

She brings long experience working with ADHD, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and related mood disorders, and has a focused interest in supporting adult survivors of sexual, physical, and emotional abuse as well as domestic violence. Her work also emphasizes building self-confidence, improving self-esteem, and offering guidance through significant life transitions.

Johnson centers her practice on the belief that people are resilient and possess strengths that can be called on to overcome obstacles. She approaches therapy as a collaborative process in which the client’s perspective is primary, and she aims to empower individuals to make changes that lead to a more satisfying life.

With a background in multiple evidence-informed approaches, she helps clients explore practical strategies and personal values while encouraging ongoing growth across the lifespan. Known for respectful, steady support, Johnson invites clients to take purposeful steps toward meaningful goals and provides a therapeutic environment that prioritizes dignity, insight, and forward movement.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options

Elizabeth integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into online work, using each in ways that suit a person’s needs. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing concrete skills to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. ACT emphasizes clarifying personal values and taking committed actions aligned with those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and emotions.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the therapeutic process. She collaborates with each client to explore goals, preferences, and responses to different strategies, adjusting methods as the work unfolds to find the most helpful combination for that individual.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide scheduling flexibility and continued access from different locations. These formats allow for ongoing skill practice, check-ins between sessions, and adaptable ways to stay connected to treatment while balancing everyday responsibilities.
