Therapeutic approaches and online care

Kathryn commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people make concrete changes. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus.

She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy when values and meaningful action are a focus. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and take steps toward those goals, even when difficult feelings are present. These approaches are useful for issues like mood disorders, anxiety, ADHD-related struggles, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kathryn will partner with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process may involve trying different techniques and adjusting the plan over time.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and exercises that use visual tools. Phone sessions can fit a busy schedule or require less bandwidth. Chat and messaging are helpful for short check-ins, quick coaching, or when a written record of ideas is useful. These options aim to make care flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
