About Annie
Dr. Annie Johansson is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Minnesota. She brings 14 years of clinical experience and aims to make therapy direct and understandable for people under stress.
Her manner is warm and straightforward, and she focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions. She helps people facing anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and relationship strain. Parenting concerns, grief, anger, and self-esteem are also common topics she addresses.
Background and approach
Dr. Johansson works with adults managing life changes, ADHD, bipolar challenges, and struggles tied to family of origin or adoption and foster care. Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas alongside cognitive behavioral techniques and EMDR when trauma is involved.
Narrative therapy and motivational interviewing also shape how she frames problems and goals. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs, with concrete tools and space to process difficult feelings. In sessions she balances support with challenge.
Expect a therapist who asks clear questions, listens closely, and suggests small experiments to try between meetings. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and straightforward feedback so people can notice change. Dr.
Johansson offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging formats. She uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to therapist availability.

Online support
Attachment, CBT, and trauma work in online sessions
Attachment-based therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional responses. It helps people understand patterns in close connections and practice new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and practical coping skills. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that helps reduce the intensity of traumatic memories so daily life is less disrupted.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan over time. Clients and the therapist work together to decide whether attachment-focused work, CBT, EMDR, or a mix of approaches feels most useful.
Online sessions offer flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for short updates, timely coaching, or when people prefer written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or care routines while still using attachment, CBT, or trauma-focused techniques tailored to individual needs.
