Online support options
Online approaches that match your needs
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and finding direction in life. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathic listening and creating a nonjudgmental space so people can find their own answers and build confidence. Emotionally-Focused Therapy emphasizes understanding and working with emotions to improve how people relate to themselves and others and to heal attachment concerns.Katherine treats the choice of approach as a conversation. She will work with each person to figure out which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice is adjusted over time as progress and challenges become clearer, so therapy stays relevant and helpful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers to not use video. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework planning, or steady support between longer appointments. These options make scheduling more flexible and can fit therapy into busy lives.
