Approaches that meet anxiety and life-change needs online
Catherine uses evidence-based techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and building practical habits. Cognitive-style methods help people notice anxious thinking patterns and test them against real-life evidence, which can reduce worry and reactivity. Behavioral-style work emphasizes small, doable steps like sleep routines, activity planning, or gradual social exposures to ease avoidance.She also helps clients develop coping skills for daily life, such as relaxation practices, problem-solving steps, and clear action plans. Choosing which approaches to try is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and personal preferences, then adjust methods over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility. Video lets people keep face-to-face interaction when helpful. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow brief updates, questions between sessions, or a way to process thoughts without scheduling a full call. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between appointments.
