About Laura
Laura Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wisconsin. She draws on five years of clinical experience to help people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and life transitions. Her approach is practical and conversational, focused on building a plan that fits each person’s life.
Laura blends Narrative ideas with client-centered care to shape therapy around a person's story. She often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive-behavioral tools to help clients name what matters and take small steps toward it.
Background and approach
Attachment-based thinking guides work on close relationships and intimacy concerns. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the client's needs. Laura aims to create space for people to talk through parenting questions, family conflicts, career stress, and identity issues such as LGBT concerns.
She also addresses trauma, addiction, bipolar challenges, ADHD, sleep and eating issues, and compassion fatigue for caregivers. Her style is warm and down-to-earth. She listens for patterns in how people make sense of problems and then looks for practical changes that fit their values.
Goals are concrete - better sleep habits, clearer communication, or coping strategies for overwhelming emotions. Outside of work she spends time with family and her dogs and enjoys outdoor activities like camping and riding ATV/UTV trails. That balance informs a hopeful, action-oriented stance in sessions.

How narrative and acceptance approaches work online
Laura uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from problem stories and rewrite how they see difficult events, which can help with issues like identity, grief, and relationship patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and motivation struggles. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationship patterns influence current connections and supports work on intimacy, communication, and caregiver stress.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. Sessions often mix techniques so clients get practical tools plus space to reframe their story.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow a face-to-face style similar to office sessions. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief updates, ongoing check-ins, or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to get consistent support around work, parenting, or busy schedules.
