Lisa Johnson, LPC

About Lisa

When obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors begin organizing daily life, understanding the pattern can be an important step toward responding differently. Lisa Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with children ages 6 and older, teens, and adults experiencing OCD and anxiety-related concerns.

Lisa brings specialized OCD training to her work, with an emphasis on identifying the cycles that keep obsessive thinking and compulsive responses going. Her treatment approaches include Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Inference-Based CBT (I-CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Treatment is selected according to the person’s symptoms, goals, and clinical needs—not simply a list of techniques that every client is expected to receive.

Lisa also offers SPACE-informed parent support. SPACE—Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions—helps parents respond supportively to childhood anxiety while reducing family accommodations in developmentally appropriate ways. This work focuses on communicating confidence in a child’s ability to cope without dismissing the distress they are experiencing.

Lisa may be a good fit for someone seeking practical, OCD-focused counseling, or for parents who want clearer guidance on responding to their child’s anxiety. Her individual and parent-focused work share an emphasis on understanding what is maintaining the difficulty and taking manageable steps toward different responses.
