Practical approaches for online therapy and ADHD-related challenges

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and values and choose actions that matter to them. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and getting unstuck when life feels overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on recognizing unhelpful thinking patterns and trying different behaviors to reduce symptoms; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and managing impulses. Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s experience first and uses empathy and listening to build a working relationship that supports exploring goals and choices.

Finding the right fit is part of the therapy process. Catherine works collaboratively to match approaches to each person's needs and preferences. She will discuss what methods might help, try strategies together, and adjust based on what feels useful and realistic for daily life.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls let people work face-to-face from their chosen location while phone sessions can be quicker check-ins or better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, step-by-step coaching, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or school schedules.
