Lyndsey Johnsen, LCSW

Navigating life’s challenges doesn’t have to be done alone. Whether you’re struggling with pregnancy, prenatal, or postpartum concerns, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, or simply seeking to renew your sense of hope, I’m here to support you. My approach is collaborative, intuitive, and focused on building your confidence and resilience. 

I’m Lyndsey, an LCSW with over 12 years of clinical experience, working with children, teens, and adults. My pronouns are she/her/hers. My experience and expertise include trauma-informed care, anxiety, complicated grief, parenting support, and perinatal/postpartum mental health. I assist parents navigate the complexities of birth trauma, pregnancy after loss, and relationship shifts during life transitions. I also assist parents and childcare providers to support children with emotional regulation and mental health challenges. Additionally, I work with individuals healing from religious trauma and those exploring self and spirituality. 

My therapy style is integrative and inclusive, tailored to your unique experiences and needs. I am an ally to the LGBTQ, transgender and non-binary communities and offer LGBTQ+ affirmative therapy. I blend approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Therapy, mindfulness, art and music therapy, breath-work, and self-compassion practices. I also welcome laughter when it feels right—always fostering a space where learning, growth, and cultural competence thrive. 

I offer both in-person and teletherapy sessions with flexible scheduling Monday through Thursday (morning, afternoon, and limited evening availability), and Friday mornings by request. 

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone. I can help guide you in identifying where to begin. You deserve compassionate, empathetic care in a safe, nonjudgmental environment. If this resonates with you, I’d love to connect. Please feel free to contact me at 815-579-8350 to connect or if you have any questions about starting therapy.
