Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Katherine often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and take committed action toward what matters to them. ACT focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while building the skills to pursue a meaningful life, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT provides concrete strategies for managing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and other mood-related concerns by practicing new skills and problem solving.

Katherine incorporates client-centered principles as well, offering a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where the client’s perspective guides the work. This approach supports healing through empathy, active listening, and collaboration between therapist and client.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Katherine works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine which methods best fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan over time as those needs evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging let clients connect in ways that fit their schedules and lifestyles. These options can make it easier to maintain consistent care, access support from different locations, and integrate therapy into daily life.
