Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Katherine uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as core tools in her work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship in which the therapist listens actively and supports the client’s own capacity for growth - it is helpful for building self-regard, improving relationships, and navigating life transitions. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering concrete strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.
She also incorporates elements of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) when needed; DBT teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially useful for managing intense emotions and relationship conflicts. Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the process - Katherine works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy with Katherine is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexible access to licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care during life changes, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for each person.
