Approaches That Guide Online Support
Johanna draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as core approaches in her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathetic listening and creating a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship so clients can explore their feelings and values; it is often helpful for issues like self-esteem, grief, and adjusting to life changes. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a structured, skills-based approach that helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and experiment with different behaviors to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Johanna works collaboratively with each person to find the best fit. She listens to the client’s needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts techniques over time so the work remains practical and relevant.
Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for busy schedules and for those who prefer remote support. These formats make it possible to access consistent, scheduled sessions and ongoing communication that can be integrated into daily life, improving convenience while maintaining a focused therapeutic relationship with a registered professional.
