Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, often called CBT, helps clients identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and teaches practical skills to shift those patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, insomnia, and many everyday challenges. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT - focuses on clarifying personal values, learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and taking committed action toward meaningful goals; it can be especially helpful for chronic stress, avoidance, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist provides empathy and support while clients lead the pace of work; this approach supports self-esteem, identity concerns, and relational or developmental issues.
Kathryn approaches treatment as a collaborative process - she works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying strategies, evaluating progress together, and adjusting the plan as needed so the therapeutic approach evolves with the client.
Offering care online expands practical access to therapy. Video calls and phone sessions allow for face-to-face connection from home or work, while live chat and text-based messaging provide flexible, on-the-go options for between-session support and brief check-ins. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue care through life changes or when in-person visits are not feasible.
