Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions because it emphasizes psychological flexibility and practical goal setting.Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and emotional needs. It can be helpful for clients working through family issues, parenting challenges, abandonment or attachment concerns, and relational difficulties.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches skills to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with day-to-day stressors by building concrete strategies to change responses to triggers.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katherine collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video or phone, plus options for live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit care into a busy life or to connect from another location. These remote formats allow licensed professionals to provide consistent, ongoing support while adapting to each client’s schedule and communication style.
