How Katherine works

Sessions focus on clear goals and simple tools that can be used between meetings. Her background includes work across settings that shaped a practical, down-to-earth style. Katie uses approaches such as acceptance and commitment therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas and emotionally focused methods to help with closeness and trust issues. In therapy she helps people work through parenting stress, caregiver strain, relationship and communication problems, and feelings of isolation or shame. She offers coaching-style guidance for life purpose, motivation, and building self-love alongside clinical work for trauma and abuse.

Katie uses a collaborative, client-centered way of working. She listens, offers reflections, and helps set achievable steps. People who want a practical, compassionate therapist who focuses on strengths often find this approach useful.

Online support options

How Katie’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then move toward values-based action; it is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety and improve coping in daily life. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) attends to emotional experiences and patterns in relationships, helping people understand and shift how they respond to closeness and conflict.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Katie will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That collaboration guides whether more ACT, CBT, attachment-informed work, or EFT is used over time.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are an option when video is difficult or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, written reflections, or ongoing coaching between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and daily life while using familiar therapeutic approaches.
