About Lisa

Lisa Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Dakota with 20 years of professional experience. She supports people navigating stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and major life changes. Her work also focuses on communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and symptoms related to post-traumatic stress.

Lisa centers her work on the belief that each person is the expert on their own story and brings strengths that can be enlisted in the healing process. She blends attentive, client-centered listening with practical strategies to help individuals reduce distress, improve communication, and move forward through life transitions. Her approach emphasizes collaboration and respect for each person’s goals and pace.

Taking the first step toward a more satisfying and meaningful life takes courage, and Lisa offers steady, experienced support throughout that journey. As an LPC - a state-licensed counselor trained to provide psychotherapy - she draws on two decades of practice to tailor care to the needs and priorities of those she sees.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Lisa Johnson uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client's perspective guides the work. This approach helps people clarify values, access their strengths, and make choices that fit their lives.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to develop practical skills for managing anxiety, stress, and mood. CBT often helps with symptom relief and building coping strategies that apply to everyday situations.

Trauma-Focused Therapy offers targeted care for those recovering from traumatic experiences, focusing on reducing post-traumatic stress symptoms and improving emotional regulation and safety. Techniques are applied at a pace that respects each person’s readiness.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process, and Lisa works collaboratively with each person to determine the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors methods and adjusts plans together with clients so the work feels meaningful and manageable.

Online therapy with Lisa can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and fit sessions into a busy life while working with a licensed professional who adapts methods to the online setting.
