Evidence-Based Approaches Delivered Online

Kathryn commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and to improve daily functioning. CBT is practical and skill-oriented, helping clients develop tools they can apply between sessions.

She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to support emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT strategies are useful for clients who struggle with intense emotions or difficulties maintaining relationships. Additionally, Motivational Interviewing (MI) is used to explore ambivalence and boost motivation for change, particularly around parenting goals or lifestyle transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kathryn works collaboratively with each client to determine which techniques align with their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can happen by video call or phone, and shorter contacts are possible via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access consistent support from licensed professionals, and continue work toward goals even when in-person visits are not possible.
