How Kathleen Uses Therapy Methods Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's needs. In practice this means the therapist asks about your goals, reflects what she hears, and lets you guide the pace and topics of sessions so work stays relevant to your life.

Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral changes. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with addictions by teaching practical tools you can use between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kathleen collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as needs change.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat works for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options give flexibility for scheduling, follow-up, and practicing new skills in daily life.
