Therapeutic approaches and online care with Audrey Johnsen

Audrey Johnsen draws on client-centered therapy to create a collaborative, respectful space where the client’s priorities guide the work; this approach focuses on listening, empathy, and tailoring support to each person’s values and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and to develop practical strategies for reducing anxiety, managing stress, and addressing mood concerns. Solution-Focused Therapy complements these methods by concentrating on strengths and small, achievable steps that move clients toward the outcomes they want.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Audrey works together with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative stance helps shape sessions so they are relevant and actionable.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to access support from home or on the go. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, respond to life transitions, and maintain continuity of care during times of change.
