Maggie Johnson

Maggie Johnson is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Minnesota. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, stress, anger, substance use, and trauma so they can function better day to day.

Maggie takes a straightforward, practical approach in sessions. She listens first, then helps clients identify small changes that make an immediate difference. She uses cognitive techniques to reframe unhelpful thoughts and mindfulness skills to ease intense emotion.

Her work often includes looking at relationship patterns and how those affect mood and behavior. She pays attention to how past experiences shape present reactions and helps people try new ways of relating and coping. This includes support for issues like grief, intimacy concerns, body image, and problems connected to family of origin.

Maggie brings nine years of clinical experience to her practice. She combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered principles and elements of narrative and motivational interviewing to fit each person’s needs. She aims to make sessions focused and relevant to daily life.

People who meet with Maggie can expect clear, practical strategies and a collaborative tone. She invites questions and works at a pace that matches each person’s goals.

Using therapeutic approaches in online work

Maggie draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to guide online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and anger. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and building a strong working relationship so the client directs the pace and goals.

She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach grounding and attention skills that reduce emotional reactivity. These approaches are practical and tend to focus on skills people can try between sessions to see real change in daily life.

Finding the best approach is part of the process. Maggie works with clients to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts techniques as the work progresses so treatment stays relevant and useful.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be delivered. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows continuity of care when life requires more flexible timing.
