About Laura

Laura Johnson is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with five years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She holds a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling and has built a practice focused on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and grief, and ADHD among other issues.

Her background includes work across a range of settings and populations, and she brings that breadth into sessions to tailor care to each person's concerns. Her therapeutic style is collaborative and client-centered, emphasizing a respectful partnership where the client’s priorities guide the work.

Laura draws on evidence-based tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, attachment-based approaches, and dialectical behavior therapy to help clients develop practical skills, improve coping, and strengthen relationships. She aims to create a calm, supportive space where people can explore goals, build resilience, and make meaningful changes.

Outside of clinical work she enjoys time with family and dogs and outdoor activities, which informs a grounded, approachable manner in therapy. Clients who value a team-oriented, adaptable approach and practical strategies for daily challenges may find her style a good fit.

Approaches that guide online care and how they help

Laura frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teach practical strategies for mood, anxiety, and coping with change. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another tool she draws on to help clients clarify values, increase psychological flexibility, and take meaningful action even when difficult feelings are present. Attachment-based therapy informs work around relationship patterns and relational wounds by exploring how early connections influence current interactions and emotional responses.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to consider goals, preferences, and the particular challenges they bring, and then tailors techniques from these models to fit each person. Over time the plan can be adjusted based on what proves most helpful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to maintain continuity when schedules shift. These formats support ongoing skill practice, timely check-ins, and consistent progress while allowing clients to engage from locations that work best for them.
