Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Katherine Gatlin uses evidence-based approaches to guide sessions in ways that fit each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress and teaching practical skills to change them - it is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills - it can be useful for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and impulsivity. Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of thoughts and feelings, which can support coping with anxiety and trauma-related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Katherine collaborates with each person to explore which methods align with their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and brief support can be provided through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not possible, while still allowing meaningful work with licensed professionals and therapists.
