How sessions work
How Dr. Johnson uses therapy methods online
Dr. Johnson frequently draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness practices during remote work. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying new actions to reduce anxiety and low mood. Mindfulness practice teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus.She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy when strong emotions or panic symptoms arise. DBT tools include short exercises for grounding, skills for tolerating distress, and clear steps for changing reactive patterns. These approaches are aimed at skills you can use between sessions for everyday problems like parenting stress or work pressure.
Finding the best approach is part of the collaboration. The therapist will review your goals, try techniques, and adjust what you focus on over time so the methods fit your needs and preferences.
