Approach-Focused Care Delivered Online
Dr. Johansson draws on several focused methods to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and everyday stressors. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current emotional responses and relationship patterns, supporting changes in how people connect and rely on others. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that helps people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity, often used for past abuse or traumatic events.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Dr. Johansson collaborates with clients to select techniques that align with their needs, goals, and preferences. Treatment is tailored over time, combining methods as appropriate to address symptoms, improve coping, and strengthen relationships.
Online therapy offers flexible options to fit varied schedules and circumstances. Sessions can occur by video call or phone, and shorter exchanges can happen through live chat or text-based messaging, making it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and access support from home or while traveling.
