Therapeutic Approaches Delivered Online
Kathleen integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) when working with clients online. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an accepting, nonjudgmental environment where the person's goals and values guide the work; it is helpful for people who want support in clarifying priorities, building self-esteem, and making meaningful life changes. CBT is a practical, skills-based approach that helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replace them with more effective strategies - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.She also draws on mindfulness techniques to help clients increase present-moment awareness, reduce reactivity, and build coping skills for difficult emotions. The choice of methods is collaborative - Kathleen works with each person to determine which combination of approaches best matches their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with Kathleen offers flexible ways to engage, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
