Online support

How Katherine blends evidence-based approaches with online care

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and problems with mood or self-esteem. DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication. It can be helpful when strong emotions or relationship conflicts feel overwhelming. Solution-Focused Therapy looks at what is working now and builds short-term, practical steps toward the client’s goals.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Katherine will talk with each client about their needs and preferences, and then recommend ways of working together. Goals, pacing, and techniques are adjusted as progress is tracked so the plan fits the person rather than the other way around.

Online sessions offer flexibility for different schedules and situations. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for short updates, homework review, or stepping through coping skills between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit consistent care into a busy life.
