Maggie Johnson, LPCC

Maggie Johnson is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, and cravings related to substance use. She supports people working through grief, trauma, relationship concerns, and struggles with self-esteem. Maggie speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions.

Her work centers on everyday thoughts and habits that shape mood and behavior. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help identify unhelpful thinking and try different responses. She also brings client-centered listening to make space for each person's priorities and goals.

Maggie uses mindfulness practices to help people calm their attention and notice patterns without harsh judgement. Motivational interviewing is part of her approach when people want help with change and need to build motivation. Narrative elements are used to look at the stories people tell themselves and consider new ways of understanding life events.

Over nine years of practice inform her focus on concrete skills and small experiments. Sessions usually include clear steps, short homework, and check-ins on progress. The goal is to find practical strategies that fit a person’s day-to-day life.

How key approaches shape online work

Maggie often uses cognitive behavioral techniques that focus on how thoughts affect mood and behavior. This approach breaks problems into manageable steps, helps test unhelpful thoughts, and builds new habits through short experiments and practical exercises.

She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize listening and reflecting what matters to each person. That style creates space for people to set their own goals and for the therapist to follow their lead in choosing next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Maggie will talk with each person about their needs and goals, then suggest techniques to try. Those choices are adjusted over time based on what helps and what feels doable in daily life.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow for brief check-ins when time is limited, and let people practice skills where they live and work. Ask about format details when you schedule so sessions match your routine and needs.
