About Stefanie
Stefanie Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wisconsin. She brings 14 years of experience in mental health and a practical, person-centered style to sessions. Stefanie aims to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and work-life concerns so they can cope better day to day.
She draws on a core of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with strong influence from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Stefanie also uses Client-Centered approaches, mindfulness practices, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) when trauma work is needed. Her way of working focuses on listening, building skills, and helping people find realistic steps they can try between sessions.
Stefanie has worked in many settings, including inpatient hospitals, intensive outpatient programs, in-home therapy, case management, and outpatient clinics. That variety gave her exposure to a wide range of issues, such as complex trauma, PTSD, mood disorders, severe mental illness, and relationship and family conflict. She also understands caregiver stress, first responder concerns, postpartum challenges, and grief.
Her training includes a Bachelor of Psychology from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and a Master’s in Educational Psychology - Community Counseling from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Stefanie mentions personal experience with mental health in her family, which shaped her decision to enter the field.
She emphasizes collaboration rather than giving direct advice. Stefanie encourages steady, consistent effort and helps people set practical goals they can work toward in life and at work.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on what matters to the person in the room. It centers the person’s goals and perspective and helps them find their own answers to problems like relationship strain, parenting stress, or low self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, mood shifts, and work-related stress by practicing new ways of thinking and behaving.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist and client work together to choose methods that match the person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration can include combining approaches when someone would benefit from skills training, trauma processing, or mindful practices.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or scheduling around work commitments without travel time. Some formats also let people pick quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera when they prefer. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and Client-Centered work to an online setting so skills practice, values work, and planning for real-life changes continue between sessions.
