Background and approach
Louis. She has eight years of experience working with adults on mood and anxiety concerns, relationship strain, and life changes. Her background includes work with a range of relationship and identity issues that show up in daily living.
In sessions she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, build practical skills for managing intense emotions, and set short-term goals that create forward movement. Conversations are collaborative and focused on steps a person can try between sessions.
Katherine also supports people navigating career stress, parenting challenges, intimacy-related concerns, and identity questions including LGBT and gender dysphoria topics. She pays attention to attachment patterns, communication problems, and circumstances like infidelity or blended family issues when they affect daily life. Clients can expect a straightforward style that mixes skill-building with problem-solving.
Katherine aims to make therapy feel manageable and relevant so people can carry change into their routines.
Online approaches that teach coping and skills
CBT helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that fuel anxiety and low mood. It focuses on small, practical experiments and new ways of reacting to stressful situations.DBT provides tools for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. It includes skills for emotion regulation and clearer communication when relationships feel strained.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on immediate goals and doable steps. It helps clients notice what is already working and build on small successes to make life feel more manageable.
Katherine treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped before, then try methods together and adjust as needed. The plan evolves based on what works for the individual.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls let conversation and visual cues guide the work, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break, and live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins or continued practice between appointments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into daily life.
