How Katie's Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on meeting clients where they are, prioritizing respect, empathy, and the individual’s goals. In practice this means the therapist listens closely and helps clients identify strengths and choices that feel most meaningful to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured approach that looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, offering practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that can be useful for intense emotions and relationship challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Katie collaborates with each person to determine which strategies fit their needs, combining elements from different methods when helpful. That collaborative process helps shape goals and a plan that reflects the client’s values and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexibility for engaging in these approaches through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home, balance therapy with work or family responsibilities, and keep momentum between meetings with brief messages or chat check-ins. Licensed professionals can adapt interventions effectively across these formats to support consistent progress.
