Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Katie often draws from Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship and helps clients explore their goals and values at their own pace. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - a practical approach that looks at patterns of thinking and behavior to develop skills for managing symptoms like anxiety and depression. Motivational Interviewing is another tool she employs to support people who are ambivalent about change and to strengthen personal motivation for steps toward healthier habits and choices.
Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Katie works with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve. This partnership helps tailor therapy to what matters most to the client.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to receive consistent care around work, family, and geographic constraints, and they allow licensed professionals and therapists to deliver effective support in formats that suit a client’s life.
