Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Roxane Johnson draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) to guide online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and creating a supportive space where clients lead the pace and direction of change; it helps with relationship concerns, self-esteem, and building trust. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering practical strategies for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) attends to emotional experiences and attachment patterns to strengthen bonds and address feelings tied to trauma or relationship ruptures.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Roxane works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions and adapts techniques so they work well in an online format and support the client’s individual priorities.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility for scheduling and access from different locations. These options allow therapists and licensed professionals to maintain continuity of care, meet clients where they are, and fit therapy into busy lives while using the approaches that best support each client’s progress.
