About Lisa
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Dakota with 20 years of experience, Lisa Johnson focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and coping with life changes. She works from approaches she lists as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Trauma-Focused Therapy. Lisa frames clients as experts in their own stories and builds on existing strengths to address immediate problems.
In sessions she uses direct conversation and practical strategies. She listens to what feels most pressing and helps people sort priorities. When symptoms tie into past events, she draws on trauma-focused techniques to identify patterns and reduce their impact on daily life.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to notice unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. That often means trying small changes between sessions and checking what works. The client-centered side keeps the pace and goals guided by the person in therapy, rather than the therapist deciding a fixed plan.
Lisa routinely addresses issues such as communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and post-traumatic stress alongside broader concerns like parenting strain and major life transitions. She helps people break down big problems into manageable steps and track progress over time.
Her approach is practical and straightforward. New clients complete a short intake so initial sessions can focus on the most important goals. Scheduling and next steps are handled through the service’s matching and booking process.

How her approaches shape online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s priorities first. Sessions focus on what the client says matters most, and the therapist follows the client’s lead to set goals and pace. This approach helps when someone wants guided conversation about relationships, parenting strain, or daily stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In practice this means identifying thinking patterns, trying small behavior changes between meetings, and reviewing what helps. CBT is often used for anxiety, stress, and problems that respond to practical skill work.
Trauma-Focused Therapy attends to how past events affect current reactions. It involves naming patterns that link to traumatic experiences and practicing ways to reduce their hold on daily life. This approach is used when trauma or post-traumatic stress is a concern.
Finding the right approach is part of the early work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and how different methods might fit. Together they decide which methods to prioritize and how quickly to move between them.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make scheduling easier and help fit therapy into a busy week. They also allow practical check-ins and homework reviews without needing extra travel, which can make it simpler to try CBT exercises or continue trauma-focused work across appointments.
