Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Kathleen Hauburger uses attachment-based work to explore how early relationships influence current patterns, helping people improve connection, trust, and communication in close relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to develop practical skills for managing anxiety, panic, and compulsive tendencies. Trauma-focused work addresses the effects of traumatic experiences with care, supporting processing and coping strategies for symptoms related to past abuse or post-traumatic stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kathleen collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Treatment plans are shaped together, adapting techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing work to continue across busy schedules and life transitions. These options make it easier to maintain consistency, access support from home, and use the communication style that feels most comfortable while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
