Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Katherine works with attachment-based therapy to help people understand how past relationships influence current feelings and patterns. This approach focuses on noticing how connection and separation show up in everyday life and then trying new ways of relating that feel safer and more stable.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, which encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and taking small values-based actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns with practical exercises and experiments between sessions.
Choosing the best approach is a shared process. Katherine will listen to your goals and try different strategies to see what helps. Over a few sessions she and the client adjust the focus so the work fits the person’s needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text allow shorter check-ins, flexible timing, and written reflections to revisit later. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
