About Luke
Luke Severt is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin with five years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, grief, mood disorders, and life changes. Luke also focuses on concerns like dissociation, first responder issues, self-harm, and questions about life purpose.
In sessions he uses a direct, person-focused style rooted in client-centered therapy. He listens for what matters most and helps people talk through difficult feelings. He draws on practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to help manage strong emotions and reduce unhelpful patterns.
Luke also incorporates elements of emotionally-focused work and EMDR-style trauma approaches when appropriate. He structures sessions so people can try new ways of responding and then notice what changes. Conversations are straightforward and geared toward small, realistic steps that fit everyday life.
People often come to him when a job change, relationship shift, health concern, or loss leaves them unsure what comes next. He helps clarify what feels important now and supports clients as they test options. Sessions combine listening with concrete strategies, rather than long explanations.
If someone wants to begin, they are invited to use the site process to answer a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Luke offers therapy in English for adults in Wisconsin and does not accept international clients.
How Luke's therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can name what matters. Online sessions using this approach emphasize clear conversation and checking in frequently about how a method is working for the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors with specific exercises and experiments. In an online appointment CBT can include structured homework, thought records, and skill practice between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. Delivered remotely, DBT-oriented sessions often focus on teaching a few practical skills and rehearsing them together.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative step. The therapist will talk with the client about problems, goals, and preferences, then suggest approaches to try. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps most for everyday functioning.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work breaks, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. The clinician will work with the client to arrange timing and a format that fits their schedule and capacity.
