Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Kate Speranza integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness practices to address a range of concerns. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental partnership where the client sets the pace and priorities while the therapist offers empathy and support - this approach can be especially helpful for teens and young adults seeking to clarify identity and goals.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and developing practical strategies to change them, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and self-regulation techniques that can help with emotional resilience and coping after trauma.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kate works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and she coordinates with other licensed professionals when appropriate.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity during transitions, and access support from familiar surroundings while working toward meaningful change.
