Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Kathleen frequently draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people clarify their values and learn practical ways to take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. ACT can be useful for stress, anxiety, and situations where shifting behavior toward what matters is the goal.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a structured approach that identifies and changes unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and related concerns. CBT provides concrete skills for coping and problem solving.

Kathleen approaches treatment collaboratively, recognizing that finding the right therapeutic method is part of the process. She works with clients to determine which techniques fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adapting the plan over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Kathleen is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving clients flexibility to engage in ways that suit their schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support during life transitions, recovery efforts, or when juggling busy responsibilities, while allowing therapists and clients to focus on practical, goal-oriented work together.
