How Katy's Approaches Work Online

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while taking committed steps toward personal values, which can help with grief, chronic pain, and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional reactions. It can be helpful when working through intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, or recurring relationship struggles. Katy tailors these methods based on each person’s needs and discusses options together so the plan fits the client’s goals and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging helps people process thoughts between appointments. These options provide flexibility while keeping the focus on practical skill building and emotional processing guided by a licensed professional.
