Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Mary Johnston draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and solution-focused therapy to guide online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, helping clients explore their feelings and values while the therapist provides supportive, nonjudgmental guidance. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a structured approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on practical steps and small changes that move a person toward their goals, making it a good fit for clients seeking concrete progress over a shorter timeframe.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Mary works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts techniques as progress is made. This collaborative planning helps tailor sessions to what will be most helpful for the individual.
Online therapy with Mary can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent care from home or work, support continuity between sessions, and allow clients to choose the communication style that feels most effective for them.
