Background and approach
She then works with them to try different tools that match their day-to-day needs, such as coping skills for panic or ways to manage mood swings. Kathy often draws on client-centered ideas, which means the person’s goals guide the work. She also uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to help change unhelpful thinking and dialectical behavior strategies to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
Mindfulness practices are used to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of the present moment. Over six years in practice, Kathy has supported people facing loss, relationship pain, abandonment fears, and the effects of abuse or domestic violence. She also addresses concerns like postpartum depression, bipolar disorder, panic attacks, and feelings of isolation or shame.
Sessions are offered in English and provided through a range of online formats. Kathy encourages small, steady steps and partners with people to set realistic goals that fit their life.

04Online support
Approaches for online healing and symptom management
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's goals and preferences. The therapist follows the client’s lead, listens deeply, and helps people articulate what they want to change and why. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers practical steps to reduce anxiety, manage mood symptoms, and change unhelpful thought patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try different strategies, and adjust methods based on what helps most. This is a collaborative process aimed at matching techniques to each person’s needs and daily life.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer talks and skill practice, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people share thoughts between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while still working steadily toward change.
