Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Johanna commonly draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) to guide online sessions in ways that fit each person's needs. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, helping clients explore their experiences and build on personal strengths to address issues like low self-esteem and life transitions. CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to anxiety or depression and teaches practical skills to shift those patterns and improve daily functioning. EFT concentrates on emotions within relationships, supporting partners and family members to better understand and respond to one another, which can help with attachment issues and intimacy-related concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Johanna works collaboratively with clients to determine what methods best match their goals, preferences, and circumstances. Together they tailor a plan that may combine elements from different approaches to address presenting concerns.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexibility - sessions may take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules, manage geographical limitations, and maintain continuity of support during life changes.
