Evidence-based approaches, made accessible online
Joni Spohn, LCSW, draws from several well-established therapy models to help clients address concerns like stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma-related stress, depression, and major life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors and practicing new, more supportive responses. It is often used to build coping skills and improve day-to-day functioning. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports clients in making room for difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps aligned with personal values, which can be especially useful when people feel stuck or overwhelmed. For couples, the Gottman Method emphasizes practical tools for communication, conflict management, and strengthening connection.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joni collaborates with clients to clarify goals, understand preferences, and choose strategies that feel realistic and helpful, adjusting the plan as needs change over time.
Online therapy can make consistent support easier to fit into a busy life. Clients can meet with Joni through video calls or phone sessions, and can also use live chat or text-based messaging for added flexibility and continuity between sessions.
