Therapeutic approaches and online care

Kathleen "Kathy" Harvey integrates client-centered therapy into her online practice, creating a supportive environment where the client's perspective and goals guide the work. This approach helps people feel heard and encourages personal growth by building on individual strengths.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and problem-focused, often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.

Motivational Interviewing is another tool she applies when clients are exploring change, particularly around addiction or lifestyle shifts. This method helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen their own motivation for making meaningful changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kathleen works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Kathleen is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and situations.
