Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Katherine Bolton integrates several evidence-informed approaches to support clients in online therapy. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current emotions and connections - it can be helpful for relationship concerns, attachment issues, and patterns that contribute to stress or loneliness. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental stance in which the therapist follows the client's lead and supports growth at the client’s pace - this approach is useful for building self-esteem, processing grief, and finding clarity during life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Katherine works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time based on what is most effective for each person.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit care into a busy life, maintain continuity during transitions, and access support from familiar surroundings. Working with licensed professionals via these modalities can help clients stay connected to regular therapeutic work while balancing other commitments.
