Approaches and Online Care for Everyday Challenges
Dr. Kathryn (Kitty) Klee integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy in online work to address practical concerns and emotional struggles. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and collaboration - the therapist follows the client's lead to build insight, self esteem, and confidence, which can be especially helpful for family and parenting issues and life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) examines patterns of thinking and behavior, offering concrete strategies to manage mood, motivation, sleep difficulties, and challenges like ADHD or addictions. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, useful for relationship conflicts, trauma-related symptoms, and intense emotional reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Klee works collaboratively with clients to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust techniques over time so therapy reflects the client’s preferences and circumstances. This collaborative stance helps ensure the work is both relevant and sustainable.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access support from home or wherever the client is located within the therapist’s service area. Licensed professionals can adapt these modes to deliver structured, skills-based, and relational work effectively in an online format.
