Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking action toward them even when uncomfortable thoughts arise. It helps people who struggle with avoidance, anxiety, or feeling stuck by teaching practical ways to move forward. Client-Centered Therapy centers on building a nonjudgmental relationship and following what matters to the client; this approach supports people who need a reflective space to understand choices and feelings.

Katherine will work collaboratively to find the best mix of approaches for each person. She listens to goals and preferences, then suggests techniques and homework that match those aims. Deciding how to proceed is a shared process, and adjustments happen as needs change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and seeing expressions, while phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging allow for brief check-ins and flexible communication during busy days. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, and other obligations while keeping treatment practical and goal oriented.
