About Maggie
Maggie Johnson is an LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) practicing in Minnesota with nine years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, addiction, relationship concerns, and family of origin issues. Maggie also addresses grief, anger, self-esteem, intimacy-related concerns, sleep and eating problems, and caregiver stress.
Her style is straightforward and pragmatic. Sessions focus on clear goals and small, doable steps. She uses talk-based work alongside practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns that started in childhood or in family relationships.
Maggie draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and shift thinking and behavior that keep problems going. She blends that with client-centered conversation to make sure each person’s priorities guide the sessions. Mindfulness practices are used to build moment-to-moment awareness and reduce reactivity.
She also uses motivational interviewing to support people who want to change habits related to substance use or other behaviors. Narrative approaches help people separate themselves from old family stories and rewrite how they understand those patterns.
Maggie frames the work as collaborative problem-solving. She helps people identify what matters, try new ways of relating, and track what works. Her Minnesota practice is offered in English and the intake steps ask for a short questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
How Maggie Uses CBT, Client-Centered Work, and Mindfulness Online
Client-Centered Therapy is about listening closely and following the person's priorities. It focuses on what matters most to the individual and shapes sessions around those concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical exercises to change patterns that maintain anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to notice reactions without getting swept up in them. This can help reduce reactivity around anger, stress, and intensity in close relationships. Maggie often combines these approaches so the work balances practical skills with space to talk through family patterns.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Maggie will help figure out what fits based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying a CBT exercise for a few sessions, then shifting to narrative work to reframe family stories, or adding brief motivational interviewing around behavior change.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into work, school, or caregiving schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Talk with Maggie during intake about how sessions can be scheduled and structured to fit everyday life.
