Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Kathryn



Kathryn draws from evidence-informed methods to guide online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies to change emotions and behaviors, often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on clients' strengths and goals, emphasizing small, achievable steps to create change and build momentum. Trauma-Focused Therapy attends to the effects of traumatic experiences by helping clients process distressing memories and learn coping skills to reduce their impact.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kathryn works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and she adapts methods over time to fit what proves most helpful for that individual.

Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit care into a busy schedule or to maintain continuity when in-person visits are difficult. Licensed professionals and therapists can provide meaningful, goal-oriented work through these formats, supporting progress while accommodating different lifestyles and access needs.
