About Stefanie
Stefanie Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 14 years of experience in the mental health field. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, relationship and family issues, and other mood or life-change concerns. Stefanie has practiced across inpatient, intensive outpatient, in-home, case management, and outpatient settings.
Her training includes a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and a Master of Science in Educational Psychology - Community Counseling from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Early in her career she worked as a case manager with families involved in foster care, which shaped her interest in clinical work and referrals to mental health services. She has experience with severe and persistent mental illness as well as PTSD and complex trauma.
Stefanie describes her style as person-centered and eclectic. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a foundation and integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, mindfulness techniques, values-based work, and solution-focused strategies. She is also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, for trauma-related concerns.
She prefers a collaborative approach rather than giving direct advice. That means conversations aim to help people discover practical ways to manage strong feelings, including anger, and to develop coping strategies that fit everyday life. Stefanie also notes that returning to online counseling fits her current family schedule.
People who reach out should expect a straightforward, skills-oriented process that emphasizes consistent effort over time. To begin, users follow the site flow to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How Stefanie uses therapeutic approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting a person to find their own solutions. It helps when someone wants a respectful, collaborative conversation about feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical techniques for changing unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches specific skills for managing strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These skills can be practiced in real life and reviewed during sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stefanie will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences and then recommend which methods to use. That process is collaborative and may include trying different strategies and adjusting as progress is reviewed.
The biography does not list exact online session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. In general, online work can make it simpler to fit sessions around work, family, or other obligations. Remote sessions often let people use shorter check-ins on busy days, skip travel time, and practice skills in the settings where they live and work. Licensed professionals can also combine skills training, homework, and breathing or mindfulness exercises between meetings to reinforce what is learned during sessions.
