Therapeutic approaches and online care with Katherine Bolton

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape the way a person connects with others. It helps people who struggle with attachment issues, relationship conflicts, family patterns, or the aftermath of trauma by exploring relational patterns and building healthier ways of relating.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and the client’s own pace and priorities. This approach supports people working on self-esteem, coping with life changes, and finding clarity about personal values by centering the client’s experience and fostering emotional insight.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and provides practical strategies to address anxiety, depression, and unhelpful habits. CBT is useful for building coping skills, changing patterns that maintain distress, and supporting recovery-oriented goals.

Katherine will collaborate with each person to determine which approaches fit best for their needs, goals, and preferences. Choosing the right method is part of the work together and may evolve over time based on what proves most helpful.

Online options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling and allow people to access licensed professionals from home or work. These formats can make it easier to maintain consistency in care and to use therapy in ways that fit daily life.
