Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Kathleen Connolly draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness therapy to guide online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship that helps people explore their own goals and values - it is useful for building insight and confidence during transitions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and developing practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve daily functioning. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and grounding techniques that can help with stress, emotional regulation, and managing overwhelming thoughts.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kathleen works collaboratively with each person to determine the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions so therapy feels relevant and useful for the individual.
Online sessions offer flexibility in how people connect - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life or to continue care when in-person visits are impractical. These options support consistent contact, timely problem-solving, and ongoing skill practice with a licensed professional when that aligns with a client’s needs.
