About Johanna
Johanna Lopez is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 35 years of experience helping people find clearer footing during hard times. She listens carefully and offers thoughtful reflections to help clients make practical changes. Johanna believes clients deserve to be heard and guides sessions at a pace that feels right for each person.
She earned a master’s degree in Educational Psychology from the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee and holds an LPC in Wisconsin.
Background and approach
In 2014 she completed a Certificate of Completion from the University of Wisconsin–Madison focused on mental health and the older adult. Those credentials complement decades of hands-on work in schools and community settings. Johanna’s background includes 15 years teaching middle school followed by roles as a school guidance counselor.
She provided in-home therapy to teens who had encounters with the juvenile court system and later supported families through programs serving Medicaid households. That work covered practical needs like child rearing, budgeting, and time management alongside emotional support. Her approach is adaptable and person-centered.
She uses listening first, then offers questions and observations to help clients reflect and make choices. Techniques are drawn from several methods, and Johanna matches tools to the client’s goals. Common concerns she addresses include stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction, sleep and eating struggles, self-esteem, career questions, depression, and ADHD.
She also works with adoption and foster care issues, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, end-of-life concerns, and related family topics.

Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Jungian Therapy in her work focuses on meaningful symbols and life stories, helping people connect current problems to larger life patterns and personal meaning. This approach can be useful for grief, identity questions, and major life transitions.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes acceptance and listening. Sessions aim to create space for clients to speak freely while the therapist reflects and supports their self-directed growth. It works well for people needing empathy and steady support during change.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It is practical for anxiety, mood concerns, sleep and eating issues, and stress management.
Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try approaches that match the client’s needs. Adjustments are made over time so the work remains practical and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging can support ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make scheduling more flexible and can help therapy fit into a busy life.
