Approach-Focused Care and Online Therapy
Katherine Henderson draws on several proven therapeutic approaches to guide online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors and is often used for anxiety, depression, and adjustment challenges. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so the client’s own goals and values lead the work, which is helpful for building self-understanding and strengthening relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking committed action, a useful fit for stress, chronic worry, and life transitions.Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Katherine works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and needs. She tailors techniques and pacing so therapy aligns with what feels most helpful for the individual or couple.
Online therapy with licensed professionals offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access therapeutic support from home or another convenient location.
