How Katherine uses evidence-based approaches online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful cycles.
DBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It can be useful for managing intense emotions, impulsivity, and anger through concrete skills practice.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and breathing or grounding practices. These tools can reduce rumination and help people cope with stress and trauma reminders.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Katherine will work with each client to choose which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaboration might involve trying a skill, reviewing how it felt, and adjusting plans together.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce time spent traveling, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. It can also let people practice coping skills in the settings where they live and work, then discuss what happened in the next session.
