Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Katherine uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients recognize and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns while developing concrete coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical techniques for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and increasing distress tolerance, which can be especially useful for relationship and emotion regulation challenges. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on clients' strengths and short-term goals, helping to identify small, achievable steps that lead to noticeable progress.Choosing the right mix of methods is part of the therapeutic process. Katherine approaches that choice collaboratively, working with each person to tailor interventions to their goals, preferences, and changing needs while adjusting strategies as progress is made.
Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes this collaborative work more accessible and flexible. These formats allow therapists and clients to connect around busy schedules, maintain continuity between meetings, and adapt homework and skill-practice to real-life contexts, all while preserving the focused work that supports meaningful change.
