About Luke
Luke Severt is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin. He focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, anger, and low self-esteem. Luke aims to make the first steps into therapy easier by offering a calm, nonjudgmental presence and clear guidance.
He uses straightforward, person-focused work to help people talk through what feels overwhelming. Sessions center on the client’s goals and daily challenges so progress feels relevant to life outside the appointment.
Background and approach
Luke listens for practical patterns and helps people try new ways of coping. His background includes five years of professional experience in clinical settings. That time has included work with people facing compassion fatigue and post-traumatic stress, as well as issues like dissociation and self-harm.
He also addresses mood concerns such as bipolar symptoms and Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD) when they affect functioning. Therapy with Luke often blends skills-based tools and emotional processing. He draws on methods that help regulate strong emotions, change unhelpful thinking, and reprocess difficult memories when appropriate.
The goal is to build skills that fit daily life and to restore a stronger sense of self and purpose. Luke offers sessions in English and provides multiple online formats. He encourages people who are unsure about therapy to take a small next step and see how a short conversation can clarify goals.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy puts the person’s experience first and emphasizes understanding and acceptance. In online sessions this means the therapist listens closely and helps clients set goals that matter to them, whether they want relief from anxiety or clearer direction in life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions teach practical tools to notice unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and depression symptoms over time.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. In virtual meetings DBT skills can be practiced and reinforced between sessions to help with anger, self-harm urges, and overwhelming stress.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and pace. That conversation often happens in the first few sessions and can change as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face dialogue and deeper processing. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on hectic days. Live chat and messaging offer short check-ins, skill reminders, or brief support between appointments. These options help people fit therapy into work, school, or busy family routines while maintaining a steady course of care.
