How Catherine's Approaches Translate Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on making the client's concerns the priority. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps the client find their own solutions. This approach is useful for people who need a supportive space to talk through anxiety, grief, or relationship worries.Emotionally-focused therapy emphasizes understanding and reshaping emotional responses in close relationships. It helps people notice patterns in how they connect and respond to others, and it can ease feelings tied to attachment and abandonment. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple practices to notice thoughts and bodily sensations, which can reduce reactivity and improve sleep and stress management.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Catherine collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, comfort level, and day-to-day life. She adjusts tools and pacing as progress and needs change.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and messaging is useful for shorter check-ins or when written reflection helps. These formats let people access consistent care without commuting, fit sessions into busy schedules, and pick the style that feels most practical.
