Evidence-based approaches for online care

Katie commonly uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and build motivation one step at a time. This approach is good for addressing ambivalence about substance use, making healthier choices, and setting achievable goals.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns and to practice different behaviors. These methods can help with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, body image concerns, and impulse control.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and life context with each person and adjust methods as needed. Sessions focus on practical steps you can try between meetings and on tracking what helps over time.

Online therapy with Katie is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions let you work face to face, phone sessions can fit a shorter break or use less bandwidth, and chat or messaging can support brief check-ins or ongoing reflection. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between sessions.
