About Maggie
Maggie Johnson is an LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) practicing in Minnesota with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, addiction, grief, trauma and abuse, and parenting strains. Maggie also addresses relationship concerns, intimacy issues, sleep and eating struggles, and career-related change.
Her approach is grounded in cognitive behavioral ideas and shaped by relational cultural thinking. In sessions she helps people notice patterns of thought and behavior that keep them stuck. She also uses mindfulness exercises to slow things down and bring attention to the present moment.
Maggie combines client-centered listening with practical strategies. That means she will listen, reflect what she hears, and offer small, concrete steps to try between meetings. She uses motivational interviewing to support change and narrative techniques to help people reframe difficult stories about themselves.
People come to her with a wide range of concerns including family problems, abandonment wounds, caregiver stress, and communication breakdowns. She also addresses substance use, domestic violence histories, and issues related to aging and geriatric care when adults bring those topics into sessions.
Maggie aims to help adults sort priorities and make manageable adjustments. She describes therapy as a joint process of identifying what is getting in the way and testing different ways of responding. Practical skills, clearer thinking, and steadier routines are common focuses in her work.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. In practice this means the therapist follows the person's lead, asks clarifying questions, and helps clarify priorities. It is useful when someone needs steady support and clearer thinking.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavioral experiments between meetings. This approach is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and some eating issues.
Mindfulness Therapy involves short attention exercises and grounding practices. These are used to help reduce reactivity and build tolerance for difficult feelings in daily life.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Choices may shift as progress is made or as new issues arise.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Many people find online meetings useful because they can fit a session into a workday break, avoid travel time, or use a shorter check-in when needed. Confirm the available session options when you schedule to make sure they match your routine.
