Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Chris Johns uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathetic environment where individuals set the pace and goals of their work. This approach helps people feel heard and supported while they explore personal values, relationships, and life transitions.He also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify and reshape unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT can be useful for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day challenges by teaching practical skills and coping strategies.
When trauma is a focus, trauma-focused therapy provides structured ways to process painful experiences and reduce their ongoing impact. These methods aim to help people build safety, stabilize symptoms, and regain a sense of control.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chris collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adjusts the plan as progress is made. These approaches are commonly used by licensed professionals and therapists and can be blended to fit individual circumstances.
Online therapy with Chris is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing for flexible scheduling and access from different locations. Remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible.
