Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Kathryn uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify patterns of thinking that make problems feel bigger. CBT offers practical exercises and small behavior changes that can reduce worry and improve mood. She also works from a solution-focused perspective, concentrating on immediate goals and steps clients can try between sessions to move forward.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Kathryn will listen to your concerns and try a few methods to see what fits best. Together you will set goals, test small changes, and adjust the plan based on what helps most over time.
Online therapy with Kathryn is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different lifestyles. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and face-to-face connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let clients send updates or use brief check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, caregiving, or other busy schedules.
