Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on meeting people where they are, listening without judgment, and building on each person’s strengths to clarify goals and increase self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and adjust unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that supports a person’s own motivation to change, often used in work around substance use and relapse prevention.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Katherine works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts strategies over time so the plan stays relevant and effective.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility by allowing sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access care from different locations. Licensed professionals can still build a strong therapeutic alliance and deliver focused, evidence-informed care through these virtual formats, helping clients progress toward their goals in ways that suit their life circumstances.
