How Dr. Johnson uses approaches online

Dr. Johnson uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this method often includes practical exercises and homework that can be reviewed together. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that reduce reactivity and improve communication. Mindfulness practices such as breathing and short meditations are used to increase present-moment awareness and lower automatic responses.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work she does with each client. She discusses goals and preferences during early sessions and adapts techniques so they match what the person needs and can use in daily life. The process is collaborative and adjusted as progress is made.
