Approaches and Online Therapy That Support Change
Katherine "Kate" Lynch draws on several evidence-informed approaches to guide online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on meeting people where they are, prioritizing empathy and collaboration so clients can explore values, relationships, and personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for depression, anxiety, and managing everyday stressors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help during intense emotions and relationship challenges.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Lynch works collaboratively to tailor methods to each person's needs, goals, and preferences. She and the client evaluate what is helping and adjust the plan over time to find the best fit.
Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people balancing family, work, or other responsibilities. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or another convenient location and allow therapy to fit more smoothly into diverse schedules while still focusing on skills, insight, and forward progress.
