Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Katherine Bonham draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to tailor care to each person's needs. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship and helps people explore their values and goals while feeling heard. CBT teaches practical strategies to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. DBT offers skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, and can be particularly helpful for intense emotions or relationship challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Katherine works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align with their goals, strengths, and preferences. She integrates techniques as needed and adjusts the plan over time in partnership with the client.
Online therapy with Katherine is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access care from home, work, or while traveling, and allow licensed professionals and therapists to support progress through regular, convenient contact.
