About Laura
Laura Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with five years of clinical experience. She completed a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling and is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Advanced Studies of Human Behavior. Her practice focuses on common life stresses and mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and family issues, and blended family concerns.
She uses a client-centered way of working that emphasizes collaboration. Sessions are practical and focused on the problems a person brings. Laura combines several approaches to match what an individual needs rather than relying on a single method.
Her background includes work with people facing custody and placement questions, addiction and criminal justice involvement, military-related issues, and clients from diverse cultural backgrounds. That experience informs how she approaches communication, safety planning, and practical next steps in therapy.
In sessions she draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also uses acceptance and commitment techniques to help people clarify values and commit to meaningful actions. Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about relationship patterns and trust.
Outside of practice she spends time with family and her dogs, and enjoys camping and trail riding. Prospective clients are asked to use the platform's matching questionnaire to schedule a first appointment and confirm current session options before booking.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Laura frequently draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and attachment-based ideas in her work. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action, which can help with life changes and persistent stress. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in relationships and helps people change how they relate to partners or family members.Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those aims. Adjustments are made as progress is tracked and new priorities emerge.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand. They also let people continue working with the same licensed professional when relocating within the therapist’s permitted area. The focus online is the same as in person: practical skills, clearer communication, and steps a person can take between sessions.
