Jeremy R. Eberle and Janet L. Johnson

Jeremy Eberle, of Lincoln, NE, is a licensed therapist providing services to individuals, groups, couples, and families since 2010. Mr. Eberle has focused primarily on treatment for substance use and gambling disorders. In 2017, Mr. Eberle was the lead researcher in a study connecting prevalence among Nebraska college students and fantasy sports. These findings were presented at the National Gambling Conference in Portland, Oregon, in July 2017, as well as at other conferences throughout the country.

 

In July 2019, Mr. Eberle opened Eberle Therapy Services but later joined services with Mrs. Johnson in 2020, successfully establishing Alternative Avenues in Lincoln, Nebraska. His current area of interest is the intersection between Gambling Use Disorder and Gaming Use Disorder, as these two disorders appear to share a great deal of similarity and comorbidity. Mr. Eberle hopes to continue his research projects as he explores the impact of gambling/gaming use on young people and adults.

 

Janet L. Johnson, MA, LIMHP, CDGC, LADC, LPC, has been working as a counselor for the past 16 years. Mrs. Johnson began her career working with youth and families in 1996 as a Family Support Specialist/Youth Tracker at Blue Valley Behavioral Health in Nebraska City and Cedars Youth Services in Lincoln. In 1998, Mrs. Johnson expanded family services into Rural Southeast Nebraska, based out of Beatrice, which served 16 counties surrounding Lancaster County.

 

In 2005, Mrs. Johnson obtained her Master’s of Counseling degree and her Gambling Certification, working at Choices Treatment Center in Lincoln, focusing on mental health, addictions, and gambling disorders. In October 2019, Mrs. Johnson won the Nebraska Counseling Association Counselor of the Year Award. In 2020, Mrs. Johnson and her Associate, Jeremy Eberle, began their private practice, Alternative Avenues, in Lincoln, Nebraska. Mrs. Johnson’s clientele consists of individuals, families, youth, and adults, specializing in serving couples and family members affected by addictions.
