About Dr. Annie Johansson

Dr. Annie Johansson, LMFT, is a Minnesota-licensed marriage and family therapist with 14 years of clinical experience. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) she concentrates on the patterns that shape relationships and family life, and she also brings expertise as a licensed alcohol and drug counselor who has worked in residential treatment settings. She has supported people facing a wide range of concerns, including stress and anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship and family problems, parenting challenges, grief, anger, self-esteem struggles, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and related issues such as attachment and adoption matters.

Her therapeutic presence blends warmth and accessibility with thoughtful challenge, creating an environment where clients can explore difficult material while building new skills. Her clinical approach integrates several evidence-based methods - for example, cognitive behavioral therapy to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, narrative therapy to reframe personal stories, attachment-based techniques to strengthen relational bonds, EMDR for trauma processing, motivational interviewing to support change, and trauma-focused work for those with complex histories. Sessions and treatment plans are individualized to reflect each person or family's specific needs and goals.

She works in English and brings particular experience helping people navigate the intersections of trauma, substance use, family dynamics, and life transitions. Her practice emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and a collaborative stance that centers the client or family as the expert on their own life.

Could Remote Sessions Be a Good Fit?

Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist online can make a meaningful difference. For many common concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or managing life transitions - online therapy is often comparable to traditional in-person care and can support meaningful progress.

One of the clearest advantages is flexibility. People can connect with a therapist in the format that works best for them - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to integrate care into busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or work commitments.

Licensed professionals who offer remote services bring the same clinical approaches used in face-to-face work, and clients can choose or change therapists if they are seeking a different fit. For many, the convenience and range of communication options make therapy more accessible while preserving the therapeutic focus on goals, coping skills, and relationship patterns.
