Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with a Licensed Psychologist
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on the ways early relationships shape current patterns of closeness and trust. It helps people understand attachment styles, improve relationship dynamics, and heal from relational wounds. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and unconditional acceptance to help clients explore their feelings and discover their own solutions. This approach is useful for building self-esteem, clarifying values, and supporting personal growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood symptoms, and change unhelpful thinking patterns.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Dr. Woodruff Johnson works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. That collaborative process helps ensure treatment feels relevant and effective for each person.
Online therapy with licensed professionals provides flexibility and accessibility. Sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to engage from locations that suit their schedules. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions or when in-person sessions are impractical, while preserving the same therapeutic focus and professional guidance provided in traditional settings.
