Michael Johnnson

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I have thirty five years of experience serving people with a variety of issues. I work comfortably with individuals, couples, and families of any age and ethnicity. I have advanced training experiences in Family-Systems Therapy, and Motivational Interview.
When I am given the honor of serving someone, I will offer an approach that feels most comfortable, and is the most effective for that person. Your experience, history, and current issues should guide the work we do together. I can use a quick ‘solutions’ focus. However the depth, complexity, and confusion of your experience will guide the style and pace of our work.
I am a 72 year old Christian man with the experiences of marriage, divorce, a blended and inter-racial family, non-binary family members, vocational issues, addiction recovery, and ADHD. I can counsel from a Christian perspective, if you prefer. You will be my partner in the formation and execution of your treatment plan. I ensure that you know the purpose, process, and desired outcome of each element of our work together. My effort is directed by your thoughts, feelings, and expressions.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

About

Michael Johnnson brings 40 years of clinical experience working with people facing a wide range of challenges. He meets with individuals, couples, and families of any age and ethnicity, adapting his approach to fit each person’s history and current needs.

He has advanced training in family-systems therapy and in motivational interviewing, and he tailors treatment to what will be most comfortable and effective for each client. At times he uses a brief, solution-focused style, while at other times the depth and complexity of a person’s experience determine a slower, more exploratory pace.

He is a 72 year old Christian man who draws on personal experience from marriage, divorce, a blended and inter-racial family, and relationships that include non-binary family members. He also brings lived experience with vocational challenges, addiction recovery, and ADHD. He can offer counseling from a Christian perspective when that is preferred.

Michael works collaboratively with clients to form and carry out treatment plans, making sure each person understands the purpose, process, and intended outcome of the work. His efforts are guided by clients’ thoughts, feelings, and expressions, and he values being a partner in their progress. He is a licensed professional counselor in Wisconsin.

He appreciates your time and consideration.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people ask whether remote therapy can truly help. For many common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or managing life changes, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions. A key advantage is convenience and flexibility. Clients can connect in the way that feels most comfortable – by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. That flexibility can make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule. Therapists offering remote care are licensed professionals, and clients may choose to switch therapists at any time if they would prefer a different fit. Online therapy can be a practical option for people seeking support for everyday challenges and transitions.
