Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with their values. ACT can be useful for people coping with anxiety, stress, and life changes by building psychological flexibility and purposeful behavior.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is often used to address depression, anxiety, sleep problems, and stress by teaching practical skills for managing symptoms and changing responses to challenging situations.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an approach often used for trauma-related distress; it involves guided processing of distressing memories to reduce their emotional intensity and to support recovery from post-traumatic stress.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Kathleen works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine what fits best with each person's needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore techniques and adapt the plan as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and therapists can also connect via live chat or text-based messaging. These options increase accessibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or mobility limits, making it easier to engage in consistent, effective care.
