Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care
Kathleen integrates evidence-based methods to support clients in online and remote settings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood or stress-related concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches practical skills for accepting difficult feelings while focusing on personal values and meaningful actions, which can be useful for coping, anxiety, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and the therapist’s genuine presence to foster self-exploration and strengthen self-esteem and relationship skills.Kathleen approaches treatment collaboratively. She will work with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time so therapy remains relevant and effective. Clients and therapist decide together which tools to prioritize.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction from home, phone sessions provide convenience when video is not possible, and live chat or text-based messaging can support ongoing connection between scheduled meetings. These options make it easier to access consistent care while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.
