How Catherine's Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and experience, with the therapist following the client's lead and offering gentle reflection to help clarify feelings. This approach helps when someone needs a safe, steady conversation about painful events or life transitions.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to emotional patterns and attachment-related needs. It helps people understand their core emotions and how those emotions shape relationships and reaction patterns, which can be useful for grief, abandonment, and intimacy-related struggles.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts, bodily sensations, and emotions without getting swept up by them. These skills are practical for managing anxiety, sleep disruption, and stress in daily life.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Catherine will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring to sessions. That conversation continues as therapy progresses, so the plan can change if something else would be more helpful.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations, phone can be a good lower-bandwidth option, live chat allows short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats help people fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain continuity during life transitions.
