About Stefanie

Stefanie Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 14 years of experience in mental health settings. She combines a practical, person-centered style with structured tools to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship or family struggles. Stefanie writes plainly and aims to make therapy feel approachable for people who are nervous about starting.

She has worked across inpatient hospitals, intensive outpatient programs, in-home therapy, case management, and outpatient clinics.

Background and approach

That variety shaped her ability to help with complex trauma, post-traumatic stress, mood disorders, and severe mental illness. She also brings experience helping people cope with grief, caregiving strain, postpartum depression, and career or life transitions. In sessions she mixes Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

She also uses mindfulness practices and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) when trauma work is needed. Stefanie focuses on practical skills people can use between sessions, such as emotion regulation, communication strategies, and grounding techniques. Her approach is collaborative.

Stefanie does not give directive advice; instead she guides people to discover what works best for them. She values steady, consistent effort and helps set realistic goals so progress feels possible. Stefanie stepped away from outpatient work for a period to care for her young family and now provides online counseling that fits her current life.

She practices in Wisconsin and conducts sessions in English.

Online support

How therapy approaches and online care work together

Stefanie blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her online practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, respect, and helping people find their own solutions, which can be helpful for building trust and clarifying goals. CBT looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches concrete skills for reducing anxiety, managing mood, and tackling negative thinking.

She also uses EMDR when trauma processing is needed, which involves structured, paced work to help people process distressing memories alongside other therapeutic tools. Choosing the right approach is part of the work together - she will listen to your concerns, discuss options, and help you decide what feels like the best fit based on your needs and goals. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for a simpler check-in, live chat works for shorter conversations, and text messaging supports ongoing check-ins and brief coaching between visits. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or busy days while keeping a steady schedule of support.
