    Frankye Johnson uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change. This approach focuses on listening, asking open questions, and guiding someone toward small, doable steps when they feel ready.

    She also uses client-centered therapy, which means sessions start with the person’s goals and experiences. That style focuses on understanding and accepting where someone is, then agreeing on practical next steps together.

    The therapist will work with each person to decide which approach or combination fits best. Finding the right method is a shared process based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences, and adjustments are made as progress unfolds.

    The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week. Online work can reduce travel time and make it simpler to keep regular appointments.
