About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Johnson is a licensed clinical social worker in Wisconsin with 22 years of experience. She works with adults who are facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and other mood challenges. She often supports people coping with grief, relationship strains, career stress, and big life changes.
She focuses on helping individuals build stronger self-esteem and confidence. Many people come to her after abuse or domestic violence, or because they need help managing anger, compassion fatigue, or bipolar symptoms.
Background and approach
Her style is direct and respectful; she treats clients as the experts on their own lives. In sessions she listens first, then helps people find practical ways to manage day-to-day stress. She uses methods that teach new skills for handling difficult feelings and improving communication.
The goal is to reduce overwhelming moments and increase choices in routine life. Elizabeth takes a collaborative approach. She partners with each person to set clear goals and to try strategies that fit their daily life.
Progress is measured in small steps - better sleep, fewer arguments, steadier mood, or clearer priorities at work. She values lifelong growth and encourages people to keep testing and changing what doesn’t work. If someone is ready to make a change, she offers steady support and straightforward guidance to move forward.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It helps people commit to values-based actions even when emotions are strong, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related overwhelm.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect behavior and mood. It teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful thinking patterns and for building routines that support better sleep, focus, and mood stability.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and day-to-day challenges and will try methods that match those needs. Decisions about techniques happen together and can shift as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for full conversations and teaching new skills. Phone sessions can fit shorter check-ins or low-bandwidth situations. Live chat or text messaging can work for quick updates, brief coaching, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while keeping the focus on practical change and steady progress.
