About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Johnson is a Wisconsin licensed clinical social worker with 22 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and other mood challenges. Elizabeth focuses on helping people regain confidence and navigate major life changes.
She has a particular interest in supporting adult survivors of sexual, physical, and emotional abuse as well as those affected by domestic violence. She also helps people manage stress, relationship concerns, grief, anger, and career transitions. Her practice includes attention to compassion fatigue and the strains caregivers often face.
Elizabeth believes people already have strengths to build on. In sessions she helps clients name those strengths and try practical steps to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. She uses straightforward, collaborative conversations rather than jargon-filled lectures.
Her approach draws from several therapy styles to match each person’s needs. She may work on changing unhelpful thinking patterns, increasing emotional awareness, or clarifying personal values and goals. Progress often looks like small, steady shifts rather than sudden fixes.
People who come to Elizabeth can expect a respectful, goal-focused partnership. She frames therapy as a chance to practice new ways of coping and to move toward a more satisfying life. Taking the first step is described as an act of courage, and she offers steady support through that process.
Therapeutic approaches and remote care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and adjusting to life changes by teaching practical steps to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses simple exercises to change patterns that keep problems going. CBT can be useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and building coping skills.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, so the process stays collaborative and flexible.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people use approaches like values-based ACT homework or CBT skill practice between meetings, helping therapy feel more integrated with everyday life.
