Lisa Johnson , LCPC

Lisa Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with a ten year background in helping people navigate hard life moments. She focuses on everyday problems like stress, anxiety, sleep trouble, low self-esteem, grief, and major life changes. She also addresses issues common for parents and caregivers and supports people dealing with trauma, depression, and compassion fatigue.

Her work is grounded in a client-centered approach that starts by listening. She meets people where they are and helps them identify realistic next steps. Sessions tend to be practical and straightforward, with tools people can use between meetings.

Lisa uses attachment ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and behavior. She often brings in cognitive behavioral techniques to notice unhelpful thinking and try new responses. Mindfulness skill-building is offered as a way to manage strong emotions and improve focus.

She also has experience with emotion-focused methods for relationship concerns and with motivational interviewing when someone wants support making a change. Her additional focus areas include ADHD, codependency, divorce and separation, and caregiver stress.

Lisa practices from Montana and works in English. People who prefer online options can connect by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled based on therapist availability.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape emotions and reactions. Online sessions use conversations and exercises to notice attachment patterns and to try new ways of relating that reduce anxiety and improve closeness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new actions. In an online session CBT can include short between-session experiments, thought records, and step-by-step behavior changes to reduce panic, low mood, or avoidance.

Finding which method fits best is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, concerns, and comfort with different techniques. Plans are adjusted over time based on what feels useful and what produces small, practical gains.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face from a distance. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter check-ins and ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep continuity when life is unpredictable.
