How Kathleen’s Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed actions even when difficult feelings are present. It can help with depression, addiction, and getting unstuck from unhelpful habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change patterns that worsen mood or anxiety. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on understanding emotional responses in relationships and helps people improve connection and resolve recurring conflicts.

Kathleen treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That shared decision-making makes it easier to try different techniques until something sticks.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for varied schedules. Video is useful for deeper, interactive work; phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth; live chat and text are helpful for quick check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options let people access consistent care without traveling and make it simpler to maintain momentum during busy or changing routines.
