About Luke
Luke Severt is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with five years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, grief, bipolar disorder, depression, and problems coping with life changes, including issues common to young adults.
Luke focuses on straightforward conversation and practical skills. He helps people name what feels most urgent and pick a few steps to try. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with attention to emotional reactions and everyday problems like work, school, and relationships.
His approach draws on several evidence-informed methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides skills for handling strong emotions and improving distress tolerance. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is used for processing traumatic memories when appropriate.
Luke aims to collaborate on realistic goals, such as reducing anxiety during exams, managing anger on the job, or rebuilding routines after a loss. He will work with each person to try strategies and measure what helps.
Sessions are spoken in English and are intended for adults. New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. If you need details about session formats or scheduling, check the therapy options before booking.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting, helping people feel understood and clarify their goals. Online sessions using this approach tend to be conversational, useful when someone wants to talk through choices about school, work, or relationships.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It includes practical exercises and homework to reduce anxiety, depressive patterns, and unhelpful habits, which can be assigned and reviewed during remote appointments.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for handling intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and stabilizing mood. Those skills translate well to remote work because they rely on step-by-step practice and short skills coaching between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful and adjust methods based on your goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process often begins with a brief assessment and a plan for a few weeks of focused work.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before scheduling. Many people choose remote sessions because they fit around class, shifts, or commuting, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and keep therapy consistent during life transitions. Ask about scheduling and session length when you complete the intake questionnaire.
