Johanna Paz, LMFT

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Johanna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach helps people reduce anxiety by teaching simple strategies to notice triggers and try new responses; this can lower daily distress and strengthen coping. Another approach centers on processing trauma and painful memories in manageable steps so the person can regain a sense of safety and control over their reactions. Both methods emphasize small, doable practices that translate into everyday life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Johanna collaborates with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels helpful. She treats therapy as a team effort where the client’s preferences and needs guide each decision.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, scheduling, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or other responsibilities while maintaining continuity of care with a licensed professional.
