Maggie Johnson, LPCC

Maggie Johnson is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Minnesota who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, and difficulties with relationships and addiction. She writes simply and listens closely to what matters to each person. Sessions focus on practical steps that fit into everyday life rather than abstract theory. Maggie draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different actions. She also uses client-centered listening so people feel heard while they sort things out. Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are part of how she supports change for things like substance use, anger, and coping with life transitions. Her background includes nearly nine years working with trauma, criminal justice involvement, and grief alongside mood and anxiety concerns. That experience informs a steady, direct style aimed at clearer thinking and better daily routines. She speaks English and practices in Minnesota as an LPCC. In sessions, expect concrete tools for sleep, eating, and managing cravings or intense emotion. She pays attention to how family of origin, attachment, and caregiver stress shape current struggles. The work often blends short-term problem solving with longer conversations about meaning and identity. Maggie helps people navigate midlife changes and career or parenting stress by setting realistic goals and trying small experiments. If you want a practical, conversational approach that focuses on what works, she may be a fit.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can clarify what matters most. Online work using this approach will keep the tone conversational and supportive while you name goals and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. In remote sessions this often means setting small experiments to try between meetings and reviewing what worked or didn’t. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention and awareness skills to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and eating patterns. Remote sessions can include brief guided practices and homework to build steadier routines. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with you to pick methods that match your goals, preferences, and the issues you bring. That might mean combining listening with CBT techniques or adding motivational interviewing for substance use concerns. Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so appointments are more practical. Speak with the therapist about what will best fit your schedule and needs.
