About Luke
Luke Severt is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with five years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, grief, bipolar disorder, depression, and coping with life changes. He also focuses on concerns such as dissociation, post-traumatic stress, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, self-harm, and issues common in young adults.
Luke uses clear, straightforward therapeutic work. He listens and helps people name and track their emotions. Sessions often involve talking through current problems, learning practical coping skills, and noticing patterns that keep problems repeating.
He draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how emotions and attachment shape relationships and internal experience. He also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the work grounded in the person's own goals, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for practical skill building and changing unhelpful thinking. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are also in his toolbox when trauma processing or emotion regulation skills are needed.
Luke aims to make the first steps into therapy straightforward. He encourages people to begin with a short matching questionnaire and a scheduled first session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary with location.
Appointments and formats should be confirmed before booking. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are not accepted.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and working with emotions that shape how people relate to themselves and others. It helps when feeling overwhelmed by hard-to-name emotions and when patterns of relating keep repeating. Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person's goals and perspective, with the therapist reflecting and following what matters most to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns and build coping skills.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to see which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and adapt the plan as the work progresses. That includes deciding when skill-building, emotion-focused work, or trauma processing is most helpful.
Session formats should be confirmed before booking. Practical benefits of remote sessions can include easier scheduling around daily life, shorter check-ins when time is limited, and options that avoid travel. If a specific format matters to you, confirm the available session types during the matching and scheduling steps so you can fit therapy into your routine.
