Therapeutic approaches for online work
Katie commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness practices in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve sleep. Mindfulness teaches simple attention and breathing skills to help people manage stress in everyday moments.She also brings client-centered methods to online meetings, offering a listening, nonjudgmental space that helps people feel heard. Together the therapist and client decide which approach or combination fits best, adjusting as goals and needs change. This collaborative process helps match techniques to what the person wants to accomplish.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed, and messaging formats allow short updates or ongoing support between sessions. These options make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into busy days.
