Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Laura Johnson
Laura Johnson draws from several evidence-informed approaches to tailor care to each person’s needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and learning practical ways to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful action - it can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy examines patterns formed in early relationships and how those patterns influence current connections; this approach is useful for relationship difficulties, attachment concerns, and family dynamics. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist supports the client’s own goals and self-directed growth.Choosing the best approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Laura works together with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances. That collaborative process allows adjustments over time as needs evolve.
Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling, easier access for those in remote areas, and multiple ways to engage based on comfort and need. These formats support consistent work on challenges and make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while working with a licensed professional.
