Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support



Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes understanding the person's experience from their own point of view. It creates a supportive, non-directive space where clients set the pace and focus, which can be helpful for issues like low self-esteem, life transitions, and building confidence.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and difficulties with motivation by teaching tools for coping and problem solving.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Catherine collaborates with each person to assess their needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt methods or combine approaches to suit what is most helpful for them.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to access support from home or while balancing work and family commitments. These options allow therapists and licensed professionals to maintain regular contact, fit sessions into busy schedules, and continue progress even when in-person meetings are not possible.
