Approaches for online trauma and relationship work
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, empathic relationship in which the therapist follows the client's lead, offering understanding and acceptance so people can explore their feelings and move toward personal goals. This approach is often helpful for stress, anxiety, self-esteem and relationship concerns.
Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that develop over time, including attachment styles and repeated interpersonal themes, helping clients gain insight into how past experiences influence present behaviour and relationships.
Trauma-Focused Therapy provides structured support for processing traumatic memories and for developing practical coping strategies to manage distress related to trauma and abuse.
Finding the best therapeutic approach is part of the work. Michael Johansen collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and he adapts the process as understanding deepens and circumstances change.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and support is also available via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family responsibilities and life transitions, and to access registered professionals from different locations.
