Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying what matters most to them. It emphasizes small, values-driven actions and practical skills to move forward even when emotions are challenging, which can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating formed in early life and how those patterns influence current relationships. This approach supports clients in understanding attachment needs, improving emotional connection, and repairing communication problems in close relationships.

Kathy approaches treatment collaboratively, recognizing that finding the right method is part of the therapeutic process. She works with clients to identify priorities, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what fits the client’s goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and for those who prefer to meet from home. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support during life changes, and engage in therapy in ways that suit individual comfort and availability.
