About Lisa
Lisa Johnson is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) based in Montana. She draws on ten years of experience to listen, offer perspective, and help people get through difficult moments. Lisa focuses on practical support for everyday struggles like anxiety, stress, sleep trouble, and coping with life changes.
She uses Narrative-informed work to help people re-tell difficult stories in ways that reduce blame and open up new choices. Lisa also draws on attachment-based and client-centered approaches to build safety and trust in sessions.
Background and approach
These methods support work on grief, trauma, parenting challenges, relationship concerns, and self-esteem. Sessions tend to be conversational and focused on what the person wants to change. Lisa helps clients identify patterns, try small behavior shifts, and notice how they respond to those shifts.
She blends tools from cognitive behavioral ideas and emotionally-focused work when it fits the person’s goals. People who come for coaching or therapy may get support with ADHD, compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, or intense feelings like panic and shame. Lisa also addresses family problems, codependency, divorce, and issues tied to abandonment or attachment.
Her approach is down-to-earth and goal-oriented, while staying respectful of each person’s story. Getting started means picking a session format that works and focusing on clear next steps rather than long lists of techniques.

Online session options
How Narrative and Attachment Work Online
Lisa blends Narrative Therapy and Attachment-Based approaches in ways that translate well to online sessions. Narrative Therapy focuses on separating a person from their problems and re-telling life events so new options become visible. This can help when someone feels stuck by a single story about themselves or their relationships.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of connection and how early interactions shape current responses. In practice that means noticing how a person seeks comfort or reacts under stress, then trying new responses to strengthen relationships and self-soothing skills.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, try different strategies, and adjust based on what feels helpful. Clients play an active role in deciding which methods to keep using as work progresses.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face-to-face when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit quick updates, reflective homework, and ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum while working on change.
