She helps people practice grounding tools, emotion regulation strategies, and pacing for changes that feel overwhelming. Her work includes support for people facing caregiver stress, blended family challenges, dissociation, impulsivity, and post-traumatic stress. She also addresses concerns like social anxiety, self-harm thoughts, traumatic brain injury effects, intellectual disability-related stress, and struggles common to young adults.

How DBT, EMDR, and Trauma-Focused Therapy work online
DBT - Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on teaching concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness. It helps when intense emotions, impulsivity, or panic attacks get in the way of daily life.EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a trauma-focused approach that helps process disturbing memories and reduce their emotional charge. It is often used for post-traumatic stress and related trauma symptoms.
Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on addressing the impact of traumatic events and building practical coping strategies. It supports healing from abuse, accidents, or other overwhelming experiences and helps with symptoms like dissociation and hypervigilance.
Katie will work together with each person to find which approach or combination fits best. Choosing a method is a collaborative process based on the client’s goals, history, and comfort level. She tailors sessions so people can try methods gradually and adjust as they learn what helps.
Online sessions offer flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls let therapists observe nonverbal cues and do guided exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to check in between sessions or access support without a scheduled call.
