How Kathryn's Approaches Work Online

Kathryn uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is often useful for anxiety, stress, and mood struggles because it breaks problems into concrete thoughts and actions.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people live by their values even when strong emotions are present. ACT focuses on accepting feelings and committing to small steps aligned with what matters most.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Kathryn will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how much structure they want. Together they choose techniques and adjust the plan as progress is seen.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text are helpful for brief check-ins, ongoing encouragement, or flexible scheduling. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, family, or everyday life.
