About Maggie
Maggie Johnson is an LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) with nine years of clinical experience based in Minnesota. She focuses on common struggles such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, stress, anger, substance use, trauma, relationship and family concerns, and problems with sleep, eating, and self-esteem.
Maggie uses a practical, problem-solving style in sessions. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, then try different ways of responding. Sessions include straightforward skills practice like cognitive restructuring and mindfulness techniques to reduce intense reactions and improve day-to-day functioning.
Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered methods and narrative work. That means she attends to how people tell their stories, and also helps change thought patterns that keep problems going. Motivational interviewing is used when someone is weighing change, such as with substance use or other habits.
Maggie often helps people manage life transitions, career stress, caregiving strain, grief, and problems tied to family of origin. She also works with intimacy and communication concerns, control issues, and feelings of emptiness or abandonment. Treatment focuses on concrete steps clients can take between sessions.
Clients should expect clear, goal-oriented conversations and practical homework to try between meetings. Maggie invites questions about methods and progress so sessions remain focused on what the person wants to accomplish.
How Maggie applies approaches in online sessions
Maggie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and test unhelpful thoughts and patterns. CBT involves noticing automatic thoughts, trying simple experiments, and practicing new responses to reduce distress and improve functioning.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and following the person’s concerns. That approach supports clear goal setting and helps clients decide what changes matter most to them. Mindfulness Therapy is used to build attention to the present moment and to reduce reactivity, which can help with anxiety, anger, and sleep problems.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Maggie will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time in a collaborative way.
