Background and approach
Dr. Johnson- Cavett uses several evidence-based methods to guide sessions. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts.
Mindfulness and acceptance strategies help people tolerate hard feelings without being overwhelmed. Emotionally focused ideas and dialectical skills are used when relationships and strong emotions are central concerns. These approaches help with managing intense emotions and improving how people connect and repair communication.
Practical tools are paired with discussion and reflection. People leave sessions with short exercises and clear steps to practice between meetings. The aim is steady, manageable progress rather than quick fixes.
Her practice also considers issues like parenting challenges, career stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related struggles, and life transitions. People who want a collaborative counselor who explains options and sets small goals often find this approach fits their needs.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice uncomfortable thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes values and small actions that move someone toward what matters, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It gives straightforward tools for reducing anxiety, managing mood shifts, and changing patterns that maintain distress.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions and connection when relationship or attachment issues are central. It helps people name what they feel and change how they respond in close interactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust plans over time based on what helps.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a session that resembles an in-person meeting, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, coaching-style guidance, and ongoing skill practice between sessions. These options add flexibility for people juggling work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
