How Catherine’s Approaches Work Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience without judgment, helping people feel heard and clear about their priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood swings, and change unhelpful reactions. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to bring down stress and improve focus, which can be helpful for ADHD-related distractibility and sleep problems.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to identify goals and preferences, then try approaches that fit those goals. Sessions often mix methods so the plan can be adjusted based on what proves useful in real life.

Online formats here include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or scheduling flexibility between longer sessions. These options make it easier to maintain consistency and try skills in day-to-day settings.
