How Catherine’s Approaches Work Online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns by teaching practical skills to change patterns. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s priorities. The therapist listens with positive regard and helps the person set the pace and focus. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, achievable goals and the steps that lead there to build momentum.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Catherine will collaborate with each person to find what fits best based on goals, comfort level, and day-to-day needs. Sessions often mix methods so practical tools and personal values guide the plan together.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone sessions require less bandwidth, live chat allows quicker check-ins, and messaging supports short updates or ongoing reflection. These options make scheduling easier and help people keep therapy consistent during busy or changing routines.
