Online support options
Approach choices for online counseling and what they do
Katy often draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centered listening. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connection and trust, which can help with intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and relationship wounds.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katy will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and will collaborate to pick techniques that fit. She combines practical exercises, reflective conversations, and real-life practice so people can try new ways of coping between sessions.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can be a brief check-in option, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These formats help people fit counseling into busy lives and keep progress moving forward.
