Online support options
How Katherine’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person’s lead. In practice that means the therapist reflects your concerns, asks clarifying questions, and helps you set goals that matter to you. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into clear patterns of thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple, structured exercises to change unhelpful thinking and build new coping skills for anxiety, depression, sleep, and mood issues.The right approach is something Katherine finds together with each person. She will discuss goals, try a few techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. That collaborative step is part of early sessions so the work feels useful and realistic.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions if you prefer not to be on camera, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or other commitments while still using CBT, mindful practices, and emotion-focused work effectively.
