How Katrina’s Approaches Translate to Online Care

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavior changes to improve mood and function. It can help with anxiety, low mood, social fears, and daily parenting challenges.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and take committed action even when difficult feelings are present. This approach supports coping with life changes, shame, and struggles around meaning and purpose.

Katrina also uses a client-centered stance that emphasizes listening and building on a person’s strengths. That helps when deciding which techniques will fit a person’s life and goals.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Katrina works collaboratively to learn what matters to each person, then tries methods that match their needs and preferences. Goals and techniques can shift over time based on what helps most.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and exercises, phone calls are low-bandwidth and easy when movement is needed, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people share thoughts between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for different schedules and day-to-day demands.
