Approaches Kathleen Uses in Online Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and develop practical steps to act in ways that align with their values, which can reduce avoidance and increase meaningful engagement with life. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on providing a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the person's lead, helping them explore feelings and build self-trust - this approach is useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and navigating transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it effective for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Kathleen collaborates with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she tailors methods so the work fits the individual rather than forcing a single model on everyone. This collaborative stance makes it easier to adjust strategies as progress unfolds.
Online sessions with Kathleen are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options make it easier to access therapy from home, during breaks, or while traveling, and they support consistent care even when in-person visits are not practical.
