Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Katherine (Kate) Schenk integrates several practical, evidence-informed approaches to support clients in online therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise - it is useful for anxiety, depression, and persistent stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; it offers structured strategies to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and obsessive patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental space for clients to explore their concerns and develop self-directed solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Katherine works collaboratively with each person to identify what methods align with their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and she adjusts strategies as needed to promote progress. This collaborative stance helps ensure treatment fits the individual rather than expecting the individual to fit a single model.

Online therapy with Katherine can take place by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules or limited mobility. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access timely support, and integrate therapy into everyday life without long commutes.
