Background and approach
Johanna emphasizes empathy and collaboration, and she aims to make the first steps less intimidating. Her training includes a Bachelor’s in Human Development and Family Studies from UNC-Greensboro and a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from Lee University. She has about five years of clinical experience, including work in a community clinic and a college counseling center.
That background shaped her approach to common concerns like attachment issues, family-of-origin patterns, and young adult struggles. In conversation she blends client-centered listening with practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work. She also draws on emotionally focused ideas when relationships and intimacy are the main focus.
Motivational interviewing can be part of sessions when people want support making changes. Sessions can address specific problems such as ADHD-related challenges, body image, guilt and shame, isolation, self-harm thoughts, and recovery from post-traumatic stress. Johanna invites clients to bring their goals and works with them step by step to build coping skills and clearer next steps.
How Johanna’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people name their own goals. It is useful for clients who need someone to reflect their experience and build confidence in their choices.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to shift them. CBT can help with anxiety, stress, low mood, and everyday coping strategies.
Emotionally focused ideas are used when relationships or intimacy are central concerns. This approach helps people understand emotions and create new ways of connecting with others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Johanna will talk with each client about their goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. She adjusts the plan based on what helps and what feels comfortable for the client.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video is helpful when visual cues matter, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging can be used for brief check-ins or when someone prefers writing. These options give flexibility to schedule around work, childcare, or school and to choose the format that matches a person’s routine and energy.
