Evidence-Based Techniques Kathryn Uses for Online Care

Kathryn integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing into her online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and developing practical skills to shift them; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented approach that helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen their motivation for change, making it helpful for addictions, recovery, and other behavior changes. She also incorporates mindfulness practices to help clients increase present-moment awareness and build coping skills for stress and emotional regulation.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Kathryn works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts strategies over time, combining techniques in ways that fit the client’s values and circumstances.

Online therapy with Kathryn can take place through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited local options. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals and continue consistent care from wherever a person is located in Minnesota, while allowing therapists and clients to tailor session style and frequency to what works best for them.
