Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) blends mindfulness with values-based action. It helps people notice difficult thoughts and emotions while choosing steps that match what matters to them. This can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and shifting priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Clients learn practical strategies to test unhelpful thinking and change patterns that maintain anxiety or low mood. This approach is often used for social anxiety, worry, and building confidence.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. In sessions the therapist and client talk through connection styles and try new ways of relating to others and to oneself. This can help with intimacy issues, communication problems, and caregiver stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katie will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. She mixes approaches as needed and checks in about what is helping and what to adjust.
Online formats offer flexible ways to fit therapy into life. Video calls let people work face to face from different places. Phone sessions are a lower-bandwidth option that can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, coaching-style prompts, or ongoing reflection between longer sessions.
