Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and supports action toward values-based goals - it is often useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relational patterns shape reactions and close relationships, helping people improve communication and emotional connection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns by teaching practical skills for managing mood, anxiety, and daily stressors.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Catherine works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she tailors interventions so the chosen methods fit the client rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy with this practice offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow people to schedule care around work, family, and other commitments. These options make it easier to maintain ongoing treatment, practice skills between sessions, and access licensed professionals from different locations, improving convenience and continuity of care.
