Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Dr. Danielle Johnson draws on client-centered therapy to create an empathetic, nonjudgmental space where the person's goals and values guide the work. This approach emphasizes listening, collaboration, and tailoring support to the whole person so clients feel understood as they explore change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is practical and skills-focused, often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for people struggling with emotional regulation or repeated patterns of conflict.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Johnson works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, try techniques, and adjust the plan so the interventions match goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities. This collaborative stance helps clients feel empowered in shaping their care.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, travel, or busy routines, while allowing therapists and licensed professionals to deliver consistent, evidence-informed support from a distance.
