About Johanna

Johanna Lopez brings 35 years of clinical experience to her work as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin. She centers her practice on listening closely and responding with compassionate reflection, combining long-term practical experience with formal training in educational psychology and geriatric mental health.

Background and approach

Her background includes school-based counseling, in-home therapeutic work with adolescents, and community programs supporting families navigating parenting, budgeting, and daily stressors. Lopez offers an eclectic, client-directed approach that blends established methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Jungian perspectives, Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing.

She commonly addresses concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting challenges, stress and coping with life changes, addictions, sleep and eating concerns, self-esteem, career questions, and ADHD. Her additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, blended family dynamics, caregiving stress, end-of-life counseling, and a range of family and communication problems.

In sessions she prioritizes listening more than speaking and moves at a pace set by the client, aiming to create a nonjudgmental environment where honest exploration and change can happen. She welcomes international clients and adapts her methods to fit each person's goals and circumstances.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online delivery

Johanna Lopez uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a collaborative, nonjudgmental space where clients' priorities guide the work; this approach helps when someone needs empathy, reflection, and support in clarifying goals. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be effective for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday coping challenges. Additionally, she incorporates Mindfulness techniques to build present-moment awareness and stress regulation skills that support emotional balance and recovery from compulsive patterns.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a cooperative process. The therapist will explore a client's needs, preferences, and goals and then suggest or combine methods that fit those priorities, adjusting pace and focus as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure that therapy feels relevant and practical for each person.

Online therapy formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow for scheduling flexibility and access from different locations. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions around work, caregiving, or other commitments while still receiving consistent therapeutic support from licensed professionals.
