Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Mary Catherine "Katie" Miller draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based techniques to support people online. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an accepting, empathic space where individuals can explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace; this approach is helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, and navigating life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) works by identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and developing practical strategies to change them - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can benefit grief, trauma recovery, and ongoing stress.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with clients to clarify goals, consider what methods fit their preferences, and adapt techniques as treatment progresses so the approach aligns with each person's needs.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and access. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent therapeutic work across distances, making it easier for people with busy lives, mobility limits, or geographic constraints to connect with a therapist and continue their care.
