About Laura
Laura Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wisconsin with five years of practice. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, anger, addiction, and other life challenges.

Background and approach
That mix of clinical education and ongoing study shapes how she thinks about problems and solutions. Sessions follow an integrated, client-centered framework. That means she works with each person to build a plan that fits their life and goals.
Therapy can include practical skills, emotion-focused work, and attention to relationship and attachment patterns. Laura draws on several evidence-informed approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Attachment-Based work. These methods are used to address issues like grief, trauma, parenting strain, self-esteem, and substance use concerns.
She offers a range of online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging to fit different schedules. Outside of work she spends time with family and her dogs, and enjoys camping and trail riding. Laura aims to help people take steady steps toward a more manageable, satisfying life.

Online approaches that focus on values and relationships
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them, and then clarify values to guide action; it can be useful for anxiety, anger, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going, which helps with depression, anxiety, sleeping and eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses, and it can be helpful for intimacy issues, family stress, and communication problems.Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, preferences, and how they respond to different techniques. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time if something isn’t working.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter verbal check-in is preferred. Live chat or text messaging can fit quick updates or people who do better writing their thoughts. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
