Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take action in line with those values while learning to make room for difficult thoughts and feelings. This approach can be helpful for issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and replacing them with skills and strategies that reduce symptoms and improve everyday functioning. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, obsessive thoughts, and sleep problems.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, empathetic relationship in which the therapist supports the client’s own goals and self-discovery. This style can aid self-esteem, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, and personal growth.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and Kathryn works collaboratively with each person to determine the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they may blend strategies from different approaches to match what works best.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to access regular support from licensed professionals. These remote formats allow clients to engage in therapy from home, coordinate around work and family commitments, and continue care during life changes.
