Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Paula Johnson uses client-centered therapy to place the client’s experience at the center of care, offering empathic listening and support that helps people explore values, identity, and emotional needs. This approach is often helpful for concerns like self-esteem, life purpose, and personal growth.

Determining which mix of approaches will be most helpful is a collaborative process. Paula works with each person to assess goals, preferences, and presenting concerns, and adjusts methods over time to find the best fit.
