About Maggie

Maggie Johnson is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) in Minnesota who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, addictions, and relationship difficulties. She welcomes straightforward conversations about grief, trauma, parenting strain, sleep and eating concerns, and the ache of abandonment and family problems. Her style is direct and practical, aimed at finding what works for each person.

Maggie draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help clients notice patterns of thinking and try different responses. She also uses client-centered listening so people feel heard as they make changes. Mindfulness practices and narrative techniques are woven in when they suit someone's goals.

Sessions focus on clear steps and small experiments people can try between meetings. That might mean tracking thoughts and moods, practicing brief mindfulness exercises, or testing new ways to handle conflict and communication. Motivational interviewing helps when making changes feels especially hard.

With nine years of clinical experience, Maggie has worked with people dealing with trauma, substance concerns, anger, and relationship stress. She aims to balance compassion with practical skills so clients leave sessions with something usable.

Maggie is licensed as an LPCC in Minnesota and conducts therapy in English. If you want to explore therapy that mixes problem-solving with supportive listening, she can help you figure out the next steps.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel understood and can decide what change looks like for them. Online sessions can keep that same focus by letting clients talk through problems and priorities in a regular, scheduled way.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps by breaking down how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and testing small changes. In an online session this often means setting simple homework, tracking moods, and reviewing short experiments between meetings. Mindfulness therapy adds brief practices for attention and grounding that are easy to try between sessions when stress rises.

Finding the best approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with each person to see which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and adjust as progress is made. That collaborative stance helps tailor sessions so they feel useful and realistic.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to schedule therapy around busy days, reduce travel time, and keep check-ins regular. It also allows therapists to assign practical between-session tasks and follow up on progress in ways that fit everyday life.
