About Lisa
Lisa Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who offers calm, practical support for people facing big life changes. She uses a listening-first style and helps people talk through stress, anxiety, grief, and other painful experiences. Her approach aims to meet each person where they are and move them toward goals they choose.
With ten years of clinical experience, she draws on several therapeutic approaches. Motivational Interviewing is part of her work and is used to help people find their own reasons to change. She also uses client-centered methods that focus on the person's experience and Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns that come from close relationships.
Sessions tend to focus on concrete steps and everyday coping skills. She helps people with sleep problems, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD questions, and mood or panic concerns. She also addresses grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and family challenges, and issues like guilt, shame, and codependency.
Her style is straightforward and supportive. People can expect to be heard and offered options that fit their life. She combines practical techniques such as elements of cognitive behavioral work with relational approaches like emotionally-focused ideas when useful.
Lisa asks people to set goals and take part in deciding the pace of work. Her stated faith is a personal part of who she is and can inform her perspective when relevant to a client's values. She practices in Montana and conducts sessions in English.

How these approaches work for online therapy
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative conversation style that helps people sort out their own reasons to change and strengthen personal motivation. It can be useful for goals like improving sleep, reducing impulsivity, or managing ADHD-related routines.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns that shape how people connect with others. It helps when past losses, abandonment fears, or attachment issues affect current relationships or parenting stress.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes being heard and respected as the starting point for change. The therapist follows the client's lead, which can make online sessions feel focused on the person's immediate concerns and goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and decide together which methods to try. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what actually helps the person in daily life.
Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins when full sessions are not possible. These practical benefits often help people maintain momentum while working on stress, grief, mood, or relationship challenges. -
