Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic space where the client’s own goals and values guide the work. This approach helps people explore feelings, improve self-understanding, and strengthen decision-making around relationships and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-informed method for processing traumatic memories and reducing their emotional intensity; it can be helpful for people who are working through trauma and abuse.Determining the best approach is part of the therapeutic process. Cathleen collaborates with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals and adjusts methods over time so therapy fits what the person is trying to achieve. Licensed professionals and therapists can combine elements of these approaches to tailor care.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions are delivered - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - so people can access support in ways that fit their schedules and comfort levels. For many, remote sessions make it easier to maintain consistency, manage logistics, and continue therapeutic progress during life transitions.
