Background and approach
Relationship strain, low self-esteem, and major life changes are also common topics in her practice. Dr. Johnson draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the client's goals and perspective.
She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify thinking patterns and DBT skills to build emotion regulation and distress tolerance. These methods are applied in plain, actionable ways during sessions. Her background includes work with people navigating substance use, adjustment after major life events, and trauma recovery.
She is pursuing a counseling-related doctoral degree and integrates new, relevant skills into her practice as she learns. Sessions focus on listening first, then building concrete tools for daily life. Dr.
Johnson describes wellness as a journey and aims to walk alongside each person as they try different strategies and find what fits them.
Approach-driven care for online therapy
Dr. Johnson blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to shape online sessions. Client-centered work means the conversation begins with what matters most to the person and the therapist follows their lead to set goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to change daily patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy offers concrete skill sets for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try first. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps and what feels manageable for the client.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and styles. Video calls allow full conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can help with quick reflections, homework check-ins, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and try approaches without leaving home.
