Katharine speaks plainly and focuses on small, useful steps clients can try between sessions. Her approach comes from a mix of well-known therapies. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and commit to action.
Background and approach
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are woven into sessions for emotional regulation and present-moment focus. Over the past 10 years she has helped people cope with grief, loss, and major life changes.
She also supports those facing depression, bipolar challenges, and addictive behaviors. In addition, she works with concerns around parenting, career decisions, loneliness, and caregiver stress. Katharine treats each person as the expert of their own story.
She listens for strengths and builds on them. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented, with room for compassion and pacing that fits each person. Therapy with her is offered in English and delivered online through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
The subscription model for sessions can be canceled at any time and scheduling is set after a short matching questionnaire.
Therapeutic approaches that work well online
Katharine uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters most to them and take small, consistent steps toward those values. ACT is useful for anxiety, low motivation, and life transitions because it focuses on actionable choices rather than only changing thoughts.She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with clearer, more helpful actions. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress because it teaches concrete strategies you can practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try techniques that fit those needs. Adjustments are made as therapy progresses so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for people with busy or changing schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when connection and visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be a shorter, lower-bandwidth option for quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging provide flexibility for brief updates or reflection between live sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent, practice skills in daily life, and fit sessions into work, caregiving, or other routines.
