Joni Spohn uses a mix of therapeutic approaches that translate to remote formats. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns and trying concrete exercises to shift those patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes clarifying personal values and developing skills to accept difficult thoughts while taking action toward meaningful goals. Mindfulness Therapy supports present-moment awareness and grounding practices that can be guided in real time over a call or chat.
Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches inform how she listens and responds, prioritizing the therapeutic relationship and collaborative exploration of relational patterns. The Gottman Method is used for couples work and centers on communication skills and shared problem solving that can be taught and practiced during sessions.
