Approaches Katherine Uses in Online Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is practical and problem-focused, often used for anxiety, depression, negative self-talk, and patterns that interfere with daily life. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills. DBT is particularly helpful for mood instability, intense emotions, and relationship difficulties, and Katherine integrates DBT skills into individual work for clients who can benefit. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, strengths-based approach that helps people resolve ambivalence and find internal motivation for change, which can be useful for substance use, addictions, or stages of readiness to change.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Katherine works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and life context. She adapts techniques over time based on progress and client feedback to support meaningful, personalized growth.
Online therapy with Katherine is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, travel, or when in-person care is not feasible. These options make it easier to receive consistent support and to practice skills between sessions with a licensed professional and therapist guidance.
