Maggie Johnson , LPCC

Maggie Johnson is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) who focuses on helping people identify practical ways to live more fully and with greater well being. She brings a thoughtful, problem-solving orientation to care while honoring each person’s unique history and relationships.

Her clinical work includes support for anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder, along with experience addressing criminal justice involvement and substance use. Maggie also works with trauma, anger management, and related challenges, using mindfulness and cognitive restructuring to help clients shift unhelpful patterns of thought and behavior.

Maggie practices from a cognitive behavioral approach that is informed by relational cultural theory, blending evidence-based techniques for changing thoughts and behaviors with attention to connection, context, and relationship dynamics. This combination helps clients build skills for managing symptoms while exploring the interpersonal and life circumstances that shape their experience.

Approaches That Shape Online Sessions

Maggie integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy alongside client-centered principles to tailor online care to each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors - it is often used for anxiety, depression, mood regulation, and patterns related to substance use or anger. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance, helping clients manage stress, reduce rumination, and strengthen emotional regulation. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, collaboration, and the client’s own goals, supporting work on self-esteem, relationships, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Maggie works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to decide which methods fit best based on the client’s goals, preferences, and circumstances. This collaborative stance allows techniques to be adapted as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are delivered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and easier access to care. These options let clients connect from different locations, fit sessions into busy schedules, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working toward their goals.
