Background and approach
Katherine draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and make small, useful changes. She also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centered methods to strengthen emotional understanding and trust in relationships.
Her background includes two decades of work with mood disorders like depression and bipolar disorder, plus care for people coping with career stress, caregiving burden, chronic illness, and ADHD. Katherine aims to help clients find clearer routines, better focus, and less overwhelm. She approaches each person as the expert on their life.
Sessions emphasize collaboration, concrete tools, and steady support. Katherine helps clients set realistic goals and practice steps that fit their daily life.
How Katherine’s approaches work in online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people get clearer about what matters to them and take small steps toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It’s useful for anxiety, stress, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and homework. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing mood swings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current bonds and responses; it can help people improve communication and emotional connection in close relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Katherine will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. She collaborates on a plan and adjusts methods as progress unfolds so the approach fits the person’s needs.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and demonstrations of skills. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make quick, ongoing support possible between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules, travel, or caregiving routines while working on the same evidence-informed skills used in in-person care.
