About Luke
Luke Severt is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with five years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and the everyday challenges that make life feel overwhelming.
Luke aims to make the first step easier by offering a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk and figure out what matters most to each person. In sessions he listens closely and works together with clients to set clear, manageable goals.
Background and approach
He draws on practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thinking patterns. He also uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s pace and priorities. When trauma or strong emotional reactions are in the room, Luke integrates approaches that help process painful memories and regulate intense feelings.
He incorporates skills from dialectical behavior therapy to build coping tools for stress, anger, and self-directed behaviors. Mindfulness-informed practices are used to strengthen moment-to-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Luke has helped people struggling with grief, compassion fatigue, bipolar mood swings, and shifts in life purpose.
He also supports those facing dissociation, self-harm urges, post-traumatic stress, and young adult transitions. His background includes work with first responder issues and challenges connected to disruptive mood dysregulation disorder. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with homework and small exercises when helpful.
Luke aims to make therapy useful and practical so people can notice changes between sessions.
How these approaches work online
Client-centered therapy starts by following the person’s lead and building a trusting connection. Online sessions let the therapist listen, reflect, and help clients name what matters most so goals can be set together.Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In remote sessions that can mean practicing new ways of thinking, doing short exercises between meetings, and tracking progress with written worksheets or messages.
Dialectical behavior therapy adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better relationships. Those skills translate well to video or text formats through role-play, coached practice, and step-by-step skill guides.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist helps clients decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That decision is made together and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy with Luke uses video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls are useful for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are helpful for brief support, written exercises, and ongoing skill practice between sessions.
