How Katherine works
Attachment-based work and Emotionally-Focused Therapy look at how relationships and emotional patterns shape current problems. Katie often includes mindfulness practices to help with anxiety, sleeping problems, and managing strong emotions. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with attention to what each person needs right now.
She encourages simple skills that can be used between sessions to reduce stress and build confidence. The therapist works with issues such as parenting strain, anger, bipolar mood concerns, jealousy, obsessions, compulsions, and LGBT-related stress. She also helps people cope with life changes and loss, offering steady support through transitions.
Clients can expect an open, nonjudgmental space to talk through feelings and make a plan. Katie describes therapy as a collaborative process and places emphasis on empowerment and practical next steps.

Therapeutic approaches for online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape emotional responses. In online sessions this approach helps people notice patterns in close relationships and try new ways of relating that reduce cycle-based conflict and emotional reactivity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches concrete skills to change thoughts and behaviors that maintain anxiety, low mood, obsessions, or sleep problems. It includes practical exercises and homework that translate well to video and messaging formats. Mindfulness Therapy helps people slow down and tolerate difficult feelings through brief practices and grounding techniques that can be practiced between sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before to decide together on the best mix of methods. This collaborative process lets the plan shift over time as needs change.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, quick coping tips, and ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to keep consistency and build new habits without extra travel.
