Evidence-Informed Approaches and Virtual Care

Hope Johnson uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on offering empathy, respect, and nonjudgmental listening so clients can explore their goals and values and build self-directed change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is also part of her toolkit, offering practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can help with mood, stress, and coping skills.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Hope works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress is made and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, maintain continuity during transitions, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable, all while working with a therapist who can tailor interventions to individual circumstances.
