Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Marla Johnson draws on several evidence-informed approaches to tailor support to each person's needs. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and creating a respectful space where the client leads the process - this approach helps with emotional exploration, self-esteem, relationships, and healing from difficult experiences.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to symptoms and then developing practical skills to change them. CBT is particularly helpful for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood regulation challenges.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying goals and building on strengths to create small, achievable changes. It can be useful for clients seeking clear steps forward during transitions or when coping with specific life problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Marla works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Licensed professionals often combine techniques to match a client’s circumstances.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging let clients access support from home or on the go. These options increase accessibility and make it easier to integrate therapy into busy lives while maintaining continuity of care.
