About Lisa

Lisa Johnson is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) who blends compassionate listening with evidence-based methods to help people navigate life’s challenges. With 10 years of experience, she centers her work on a collaborative, client-focused process that honors each person’s pace and perspective.

Background and approach

Her practice draws on Internal Family Systems alongside other therapies to explore internal parts, attachment patterns, and practical skills for managing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and mood concerns. Lisa often combines client-centered presence with structured techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused and Attachment-Based approaches to address relationship strains, parenting stress, sleep difficulties, ADHD-related challenges, and compassion fatigue.

She also supports work around abandonment, codependency, caregiver stress, and other complex emotional experiences. Based in Montana, Lisa aims to help clients build clearer insight and more effective coping strategies while acknowledging the real-life pressures that bring people to therapy.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Lisa integrates Internal Family Systems to help clients notice and work with different internal parts, offering a framework to explore protective reactions and vulnerable feelings in a gentle way. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to identify relational patterns and how early connections shape current emotional responses, which can be helpful for relationship troubles, separation worries, and caregiving stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and the presenting concerns to determine whether parts work, attachment-focused exploration, CBT techniques, or a blend will best support the client. Sessions evolve as needs change, with the plan adjusted alongside the client’s feedback and progress.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility for people balancing work, family, or geographic distance. These formats allow for consistent contact, practice of skills between meetings, and options for different communication styles so clients can engage in the way that feels most manageable for them.
