How Kathryn uses therapeutic approaches online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, helps clarify goals, and uses the client's own strengths to guide change. This approach is useful when someone needs respectful, nonjudgmental support for everyday challenges and relationship concerns.

Solution-focused therapy zeroes in on small, practical steps the client can try right away. Sessions look for exceptions to problems and build quick, achievable strategies to improve routines, focus, or interactions. It often helps with stress, ADHD-related organization, and short-term life changes.

Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons for change. The therapist uses open questions and reflections to reduce resistance and increase motivation for things like reducing substance use, improving routines, or tackling career shifts.

Finding the right combination of methods is a collaborative process. Kathryn will work with each person to choose what fits their goals and comfort level, and she adjusts approaches as those goals evolve.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls suit in-depth conversations, phone can be used when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging is helpful for ongoing prompts or brief reflections. These options give flexibility for busy schedules and different communication preferences.
