Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care



Katherine often integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current connections and emotional responses, which can be especially helpful for relationship concerns and trauma-related issues. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and collaborative pacing, creating space for clients to explore their goals and values at a comfortable speed. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, and stress-related symptoms.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Katherine works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, adjusting techniques over time so therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for scheduling and for communicating in the formats that feel most accessible. These modalities make it easier to maintain continuity of care while allowing clients and licensed professionals to focus on meaningful progress in ways that suit each person’s life.
