Therapeutic Approaches and Online Session Options
Kate integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify personal values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and take committed steps toward a meaningful life. ACT is useful for managing anxiety, depression, and life transitions by shifting focus from symptom elimination to value-driven action.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore patterns formed in early relationships and how they affect current connections. This approach can help with intimacy-related concerns, family and relationship difficulties, abandonment issues, and challenges tied to trust and emotional responsiveness.
In practice, Kate treats selecting the right approach as a collaborative process. She works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and practical needs, then tailors techniques from these modalities to fit each person's situation. The aim is to build a plan together that feels relevant and achievable.
Sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These online options make it easier for clients to access licensed professionals from home, balance therapy with other responsibilities, and continue care during life transitions or when mobility is limited.
