Approaches that guide online care and healing
Katherine uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values and build psychological flexibility. ACT combines mindfulness and practical behavior changes so people can pursue meaningful goals even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore how early relationships shape current patterns - it helps clients deepen awareness of relational needs and repair ways of connecting in families and partnerships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is practical and skill-oriented, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Katherine works with clients to assess their needs, preferences, and goals, and she adjusts methods over time so the work fits each person. That partnership helps ensure therapy stays relevant and effective for the issues being addressed.
Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, and those living far from in-person services. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access timely support, and engage in therapy from familiar surroundings while working with a licensed professional.
