Background and approach
Kathryn prefers clear, practical steps so clients can try small changes between visits. Her work draws on client-centered and solution-focused ideas. That means conversations center on what matters to the client and on finding realistic steps forward.
She also integrates mindfulness and motivational approaches to help with stress, coping, and motivation. Kathryn has about 10 years of experience supporting people through grief, workplace issues, identity and sexuality questions, ADHD, and intimacy or self-esteem concerns. She also has experience with adoption and foster care matters, blended family issues, and first responder stress.
Therapy can include talking, short skill-building practices, and setting clear goals together. Sessions are described in plain language and kept focused on daily life problems. Kathryn accepts international clients and delivers care in English, with flexible session formats to fit busy schedules.
How her approaches fit into online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy centers conversations on the person and their goals. The therapist listens closely and helps clients name what matters, which is useful for anxiety, self-esteem, and relationship concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and manage strong emotions in daily life. These practices can be done during brief moments between appointments. Motivational Interviewing focuses on strengthening a person’s own reasons for change. It helps with challenges like addiction, motivation for career or lifestyle shifts, and following through on goals.Choosing an approach is part of the work together. Kathryn will talk with the client about their needs and preferences, then suggest methods to try. That plan can shift over time based on what helps most and what fits the client’s schedule and goals.
Online sessions can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and exercises that benefit from seeing facial expressions. Phone calls are a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for short updates, quick coping strategies, and scheduling between sessions. These options make therapy flexible and easier to fit into a busy family life or workday.
