Online support

Therapeutic approaches you can try online

Client-centered therapy focuses on building a trusting relationship and following what matters most to the client. It helps when someone needs a listening space and collaborative goal setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches concrete skills to manage anxiety, depression, and unhelpful reactions. EMDR, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, involves using guided bilateral stimulation alongside memory processing to reduce the impact of traumatic memories and related symptoms.

Choosing which approach to use is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your history, current goals, and what feels comfortable, then try methods that fit your needs. If something doesn’t feel right, she will adjust the plan so sessions stay useful and manageable.

Online therapy with Dr. Johnson-Waddell is offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let you work face-to-face from wherever you are. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to use video. Live chat or text sessions make shorter check-ins and flexible scheduling easier. These formats help people fit therapy around work, family, and travel while still making steady progress.
