Kathy uses therapy approaches that help people notice their thoughts and take action aligned with their values.
Background and approach
She often combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT with cognitive behavioral techniques to reduce unhelpful habits and reframe stressful thinking. Mindfulness practices are woven into sessions to help with attention and emotional regulation. Her training in psychodynamic ideas informs a gentle curiosity about patterns that repeat across relationships and life choices.
That perspective can help people understand where old hurts or expectations come from and how those drive current behavior. Kathy also draws on the Gottman Method when relationship communication and conflict are central concerns. Sessions typically focus on clear goals such as managing panic, improving sleep, reducing substance use, or building confidence.
She talks through concrete strategies and homework that a person can try between sessions. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Kathy is comfortable addressing a wide range of issues including trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strain, ADHD challenges, body image, and addiction.
She explains options and helps people choose approaches that fit their life and goals.
How Kathy’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and grounding practices that lower reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments. Choosing the right approach is a joint decision. Kathy discusses goals and preferences during early sessions and adjusts methods as needed. She works collaboratively to try techniques and track what helps most for each person. Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter, more frequent check-ins or notes between sessions. These options provide flexibility so people can continue steady work toward their goals even with a packed schedule.Questions people ask
