Therapeutic Approaches and Online Therapy Options
Kathryne draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and a client-centered approach to tailor care to each person’s needs. CBT focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to build practical coping strategies. DBT emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for self-destructive patterns and emotional regulation. Client-centered therapy centers the individual’s perspective, offering empathetic listening and collaborative goal-setting to support personal growth and recovery.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kathryne works collaboratively with clients and other licensed professionals to determine which methods fit best based on a person’s goals, challenges, and preferences. Together they monitor progress and adjust techniques as needed.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from licensed therapists without geographic barriers, allowing clients to engage in care in ways that fit their daily lives.
