Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Amy Johnson
Amy Johnson draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current connection patterns and emotional responses. This approach can be helpful for clients dealing with family issues, attachment concerns, or difficulties forming and maintaining trusting relationships. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance that supports a person in finding their own solutions and building self-understanding and confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another central approach she employs - it focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often useful for anxiety, depression, and mood-related concerns.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Amy works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies over time as progress and circumstances evolve. Clients are involved in decisions about focus and pace so treatment feels relevant and effective.
Online therapy with Amy can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy families and teens. These options make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow continuity of care across locations. Licensed professionals like Amy and other therapists can provide meaningful, practical support through these remote formats while tailoring work to each client's life and availability.
