About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Wisconsin with 22 years of experience. She focuses on helping adults navigate stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and trauma-related concerns. Elizabeth pays close attention to life transitions and the impact they have on day-to-day functioning.

Her work centers on listening first and building on each person's strengths. She helps people increase self-confidence, manage difficult emotions, and sort through the fallout of past abuse or domestic violence. She treats mood disorders and offers coaching-style support for career and life changes.

Elizabeth emphasizes practical steps that fit into a person's life. She encourages small, realistic changes that add up over time. Sessions often include learning new ways to cope, practicing different behaviors, and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns.

She values the resilience people bring to therapy and treats clients as the experts on their own lives. Elizabeth supports clients who are processing grief, relationship struggles, family-of-origin issues, or feelings of emptiness and isolation.

Her approach draws on several therapy styles to match a client's needs. She can help with anger, compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, and challenges tied to aging or neurodiversity. Those considering work with her should confirm current session options before booking.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward them. It helps when people feel stuck by teaching ways to notice thoughts and move forward despite discomfort. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It often involves practical exercises and strategies to change thinking patterns and behaviors that keep problems going.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so they feel relevant and useful.

Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use visual tools, worksheets, and homework exercises between meetings to keep progress moving forward.
