Online support options
How Kathryn’s approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy is about listening closely and shaping sessions around each person's priorities. Kathryn uses this to help clients set practical goals and choose which skills to try next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches clear steps to change patterns that cause distress. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and low mood.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, provides tools for handling intense emotions and improving communication. Skills include emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and mindful awareness that people can practice between sessions. Kathryn combines these methods so the plan fits a client's goals and life demands rather than forcing a single technique.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kathryn will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts pacing, homework, and session focus as clients learn what helps them most.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill coaching. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing encouragement, or quick troubleshooting between longer sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
