Approaches and Online Therapy Options

Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's experience, using empathy and collaboration to help people explore values, build self-trust, and improve relationships; it is often helpful for issues involving self-esteem, communication, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, panic, and stress management. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a structured approach to processing distressing memories and trauma, and it can support recovery from post-traumatic stress and related symptoms.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself, and Catherine will collaborate with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She frames treatment as a partnership and adjusts strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility and accessibility, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, manage transportation barriers, or maintain continuity during life changes. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt these methods effectively for remote care, using a mix of conversation, guided exercises, and practical tools to support growth and coping.
