Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support

Katherine commonly uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this practical approach supports work on anxiety, depression, and patterns related to substance or process addictions. She also integrates trauma-informed methods that prioritize safety and pacing while addressing the effects of past abuse or traumatic events, helping clients process painful experiences and reduce their impact on daily life. Additionally, a strength-based orientation highlights a client’s existing resources and resilience, encouraging goal setting and skills-building to navigate family challenges, parenting concerns, and life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Katherine works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods align with their goals, preferences, and cultural context, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds and new needs emerge.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can improve access and fit therapy into busy schedules. These formats offer flexibility for ongoing support, the ability to use different communication styles as needed, and opportunities for consistent work with licensed professionals from locations that are convenient for the client.
