Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Diana Johnstone, LCSW, draws from several evidence-informed approaches to tailor treatment to each person's needs. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration - the therapist follows the client's lead, helping individuals build self-understanding and confidence while working through relationship or life-purpose concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns - it is practical for managing anxiety, panic, mood disorders, and stress by teaching concrete coping skills and problem-solving strategies. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that supports processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional impact, often used for post-traumatic stress and abuse-related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Diana partners with clients to assess goals, preferences, and symptom patterns, then recommends techniques or combinations of methods to best support recovery and day-to-day functioning. This collaborative process helps ensure treatment feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy offers flexible options to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Sessions can take place by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to engage from home or other convenient locations. For many, this flexibility makes it easier to maintain consistent care and integrate new skills into daily life while working with licensed professionals and therapists trained in trauma and mood-related concerns.
