Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping clients clarify their values and take committed actions in line with those values while learning practical ways to accept difficult feelings. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through structured strategies and practice, making it a common approach for depression, anxiety, panic, and OCD. Attachment-Based Therapy centers on understanding how early relational patterns influence current relationships and emotional responses, and it supports repairing connection and building healthier relational habits, which can help with intimacy, family issues, and trauma-related concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Katie works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. The first sessions are often used to explore priorities and tailor a plan that evolves as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - clients can meet by video, speak by phone, or use live chat and text-based messaging to maintain continuity of care amid busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or geographic distance. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals and to continue work on symptoms, relationships, and life changes in ways that fit daily life.
