Approach-driven online therapy with Jacquelyn Johnson

Jacquelyn Johnson integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her online practice to meet different needs. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist listens closely and helps the client explore their own goals and values - it is useful for building self-worth and clarifying life purpose. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be especially effective for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. DBT teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, making it helpful for intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and challenges with impulse control.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Jacquelyn works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and communication style. These options can make it easier to maintain continuity during busy or transitional periods, accommodate mobility or caregiving responsibilities, and allow people to choose the format that feels most comfortable for engaging in therapy with licensed professionals and therapists.
