How Katie’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy places the client's priorities at the center of each session. In practice this means the therapist listens first, follows the client's lead, and adapts tools to match what matters most to the person. This approach is helpful for clarifying goals and shaping a plan that fits someone's life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete techniques to change patterns that keep problems going. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related struggles, and mood shifts because it teaches simple exercises people can practice between sessions.

Mindfulness methods teach basic attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve focus. These techniques pair well with other approaches and can be practiced briefly during a call or through short daily exercises.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about options, try methods together, and adjust plans based on how the client responds. The goal is to find approaches that feel useful and practical for the person's needs and preferences.

Online sessions offer flexibility in how therapy fits into life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for in-depth work, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging supports quick check-ins or brief coaching between meetings. These options make it easier to keep steady progress while juggling work, family, and other demands.
