Online support options
Approaches used online and how they help
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting each person's own goals. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what they say, and helps them feel understood so they can find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and daily stress management.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katie will talk with the client about goals, symptoms, and preferences, then suggest methods to try together. That collaborative process may mix approaches and adjust over time so the plan fits what actually helps.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work when internet bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send messages or short updates between sessions and can fit into busy days. These options provide flexibility so therapy can fit around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities rather than requiring a long commute.
