Approaches in online therapy and how they help
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person rather than the problem - the therapist offers empathy, active listening, and non-directive support so clients can explore their feelings and discover their own solutions. This approach is often helpful for building self-esteem, improving confidence, and processing grief.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, structured approach that helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and develop new ways of coping. CBT can be effective for managing stress, anxiety, low mood, and some trauma-related symptoms by teaching tools for changing thoughts and behaviours.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Johanna works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She helps tailor sessions so that methods align with what the client wants to achieve.
Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and access support from home. Those formats allow licensed professionals to deliver meaningful, consistent care while adapting to each client's schedule and communication style.
