Therapeutic approaches and online support

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how early relational experiences shape current patterns in close relationships. It helps people explore attachment needs, repair ruptures, and build more secure ways of connecting with partners and family members.

Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the center of the process, offering empathic listening and support so individuals can explore their own values and solutions. This approach is useful for building self-esteem, enhancing motivation, and navigating life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based approach that helps identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is commonly used for anxiety, stress, mood concerns, and developing coping strategies.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Catherine will work collaboratively with clients to determine what methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time and involves clients in planning to ensure the work feels personally relevant.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage with licensed professionals, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity during life changes, and access support from home or other convenient locations.
