Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Dawn Johnston uses several evidence-informed approaches tailored to individual needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting and non-judgmental space where the client’s own goals and values guide the work - it suits people seeking support for self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, panic and stress-related issues. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and awareness strategies to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, often helping with stress, sleep, and ongoing mood difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dawn collaborates with each person to explore which methods best fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and she adapts the plan as progress is made. Therapists and licensed professionals often combine techniques to match the unique situation of the client.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into a busy life or to connect across distances. These options support ongoing access to care and allow work to continue even when in-person appointments are not possible.
