About Laura
Laura Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wisconsin. She brings five years of clinical experience and a calm, practical approach to work on everyday struggles like stress and anxiety. She aims to make therapy straightforward and useful for people feeling stuck or overwhelmed.
She draws from several therapy approaches to shape sessions around each person’s needs. That means simple tools for coping with panic or low mood, skills to manage intense emotions, and ways to notice what matters most in life.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with steps you can try between meetings. Laura has worked across a range of settings and with varied concerns. That background informs how she approaches addictions, grief, trauma, relationship strain, caregiver stress, and identity-related issues.
She pays attention to attachment patterns and communication habits that affect relationships and parenting. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. People can expect clear feedback, practical exercises, and space to talk through hard experiences.
She frames therapy as teamwork where clients set goals and try things that fit their life. Outside of work she spends time with family and her dogs, and enjoys outdoor activities like camping and trail riding. That personal side shows in a relaxed presence during sessions, and a focus on small, manageable changes that add up over time.
How these approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions by focusing on what matters and small steps toward it.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and impulsivity by building new routines and coping strategies.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. It can help with intimacy-related issues, communication problems, and caregiver stress by identifying repetitive patterns and trying new ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together as therapy continues.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets you work face-to-face from wherever you are, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quick check-ins, and messaging can keep progress moving between appointments. These options help fit care around work, family, or travel schedules while keeping focus on practical steps and skill building.
