About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Johnson is a licensed clinical social worker in Wisconsin with 22 years of professional experience supporting adults facing mood and stress-related challenges.

Background and approach

She draws on a range of evidence-informed approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, to help people address anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and grief while strengthening coping skills and self-confidence. Her practice emphasizes a respectful, collaborative stance that treats each person as the expert on their own story.

Elizabeth offers guidance for navigating life transitions, reclaiming resilience after abuse or domestic violence, and managing compassion fatigue or career-related stress. She also works with concerns such as relationship strain, family-of-origin patterns, attachment challenges, and co-occurring conditions like bipolar disorder.

Clients can expect support that acknowledges strengths while working toward practical change. Elizabeth values ongoing personal growth at any stage of life and aims to empower people to overcome barriers so they can pursue a more satisfying, functioning daily life.

Approaches That Guide Online Care

Elizabeth integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into online work in ways that focus on practical strategies and values-driven action. CBT helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood, while ACT encourages acceptance of difficult internal experiences and commitment to meaningful life directions.

She approaches treatment collaboratively, viewing the search for the right method as a shared process. The therapist will work with clients to weigh different techniques, test what feels most useful, and adapt approaches based on each persons goals, preferences, and responses over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow for flexible scheduling and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are impractical. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver interactive, goal-oriented work while tailoring the experience to individual needs.
