How Katie uses practical approaches in online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead. The therapist creates space to understand what matters most and bases next steps on each person's goals and preferences. This approach helps when someone needs support sorting feelings and deciding what to try first.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Katie uses CBT techniques to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. That method often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and breaking patterns that keep problems going.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and is decided together. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust plans over time. This collaborative process helps make therapy feel useful and relevant to everyday life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls allow more face-to-face interaction and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make it simpler to check in between sessions or fit brief check-ins into a busy day. These options provide flexibility so people can work on skills and progress without rearranging their whole schedule.
