How Johanna’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. It emphasizes the client's own goals and priorities, helping a parent or individual feel heard while deciding what change feels right for them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, address mood struggles, and change unhelpful patterns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can be useful for handling anger, intense stress, and relationship difficulties by teaching concrete coping strategies.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Johanna collaborates with each person to identify goals and tries methods that match those goals and preferences. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan as needed.
Online therapy lets people access sessions through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face interaction, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a brief check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into parenting schedules, work breaks, or other busy days.
