Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care

Dr. Kathleen Hathaway integrates evidence-based methods tailored to each client's needs. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy, creating space for clients to explore their values and choices while building confidence and self-understanding; it is often useful for stress, self-esteem, and life-direction concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and to improve coping skills for daily challenges. The Gottman Method offers practical tools for improving communication and problem-solving within couples, helping partners rebuild trust and strengthen connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Kathleen Hathaway works collaboratively with each person to determine which combination of methods best fits their goals, preferences, and circumstances, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Dr. Hathaway is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules and varied needs. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or work, and choose a format that feels most comfortable for treatment.
