How Catherine’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on what matters most to the person in the room. The therapist listens closely and shapes each session around the client’s goals and pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and panic. EMDR is a structured method to reduce the intensity of distressing memories and reactions after trauma and abuse.Choosing the best approach is a team effort. Catherine will discuss the options, try methods that fit your goals, and adapt as progress is made. The first weeks often include checking what feels useful and adjusting the plan together.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to stay connected. Video calls let people keep face-to-face conversation without traveling. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when a microphone-only check-in is easier. Live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins and step-by-step coaching possible between longer sessions. These formats help therapy fit busy lives and different personal needs.
