Online support options
How her approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the person’s priorities and creating a respectful space to talk. Online sessions allow the client to lead the conversation while the therapist reflects, validates, and helps clarify goals. This approach fits concerns like identity, relationship issues, and parenting strain.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps pinpoint thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and tests small changes between sessions. Delivered by video or phone, CBT often includes short exercises to try during the week and straightforward feedback in session. It is useful for anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and ADHD-related strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kathleen will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort with different formats. She adjusts techniques over time based on what is helpful and what a person prefers.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone can work with lower bandwidth, live chat is helpful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to try different formats to see what feels most effective.
