Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Kate commonly integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to support people in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping individuals notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then move toward actions that reflect their values - it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist follows the client’s lead and supports self-directed goals, making it helpful for building trust, self-esteem, and relational work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns by teaching practical skills for managing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and many daily challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kate works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy feels relevant and doable for the individual.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, access care from home or work, and maintain continuity when schedules or circumstances change. Licensed professionals can deliver effective support through these formats, with an emphasis on practical strategies and consistent therapeutic connection.
