Approach-Focused Online Therapy with Practical Tools

Katie Newberry draws from Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to guide online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration, helping clients explore their values, build self-esteem, and navigate relationship or life-role changes. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing concrete skills to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress, offering structured tools for day-to-day coping.

She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) strategies when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, or interpersonal effectiveness are primary concerns. DBT-based skills training can support clients who struggle with intense emotions, anger, or mood instability by teaching practical strategies for managing reactions and improving relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Katie works with clients to assess goals, preferences, and needs, and she adapts methods over time so the plan remains aligned with progress and circumstances.

Online therapy with Katie is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, busy routines, or when in-person visits are not practical, while allowing therapists and clients to focus on meaningful, skill-based work together.
