Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites clients to clarify what matters most to them and to build practical skills for taking values-based action even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings arise. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, depression, and motivation challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional needs and interpersonal responses, helping people work through abandonment, attachment issues, and relational difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist listens closely and helps clients find their own solutions; this approach supports self-esteem, coping with life changes, and personal growth.

Katherine approaches treatment collaboratively, recognizing that finding the right therapeutic fit is part of the process. She works with clients to identify goals, discuss which methods may be most helpful, and adapt techniques to align with each person’s preferences and life circumstances. The process is guided by the client’s needs and paced to foster comfort and engagement.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing clients to connect from home, during breaks, or while managing caregiving and work demands. This range of options helps make consistent care more accessible and easier to integrate into a busy life.
