About Luke
Luke Severt is a licensed professional counselor in Wisconsin who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and related challenges.
Background and approach
He works with individuals struggling with anger, self-esteem, depression, bipolar symptoms, compassion fatigue, grief, and coping with major life changes, and offers support for issues such as dissociation, post-traumatic stress, self-harm, and finding life purpose. With five years of clinical experience, he guides clients through practical strategies while honoring each person’s experience.
His approach centers on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly. Luke blends evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical strategies, emotionally focused work, and EMDR to help clients reduce distress and build more effective coping skills.
He emphasizes collaboration, helping people identify goals and choose interventions that match their needs and preferences. Luke encourages anyone taking the first step toward therapy and aims to make the process approachable.
He offers multiple session formats to fit different lifestyles and strives to tailor sessions so clients leave with concrete tools and clearer direction.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Sessions focus on skill-building, activity planning, and short-term tools clients can apply between meetings.Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an approach aimed at reducing the emotional intensity of traumatic memories through structured processing techniques. When appropriate, it can help clients work through post-traumatic stress and trauma-related symptoms in a paced, guided way.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) components teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills to help people manage strong emotions and improve relationships. These skills are often integrated into sessions alongside other methods to offer practical coping options.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together; the therapist will collaborate with each client to determine which combination of methods fits their goals, needs, and preferences. That process includes reviewing options, trying techniques in session, and adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats allow clients to engage from home or while traveling, fit therapy into busy schedules, and maintain continuity when in-person meetings are not possible. The aim is to make evidence-informed care realistic and usable in everyday life.
