Background and approach
Sessions tend to balance real-world problem solving with emotional understanding. Her approach blends cognitive behavioral tools with emotion-focused and attachment-informed work. She will help people notice unhelpful thinking, try new behaviors, and attend to emotional needs that show up in close relationships.
Katie uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to clarify values and take committed steps forward. In sessions she listens closely and asks straightforward questions. She aims to help people name what’s hard, practice skills that reduce overwhelm, and try small experiments between meetings.
For many clients this leads to clearer communication, fewer reactive moments, and stronger connection with the people who matter to them. Katie also supports coaching-style goals like finding life purpose or navigating career and role changes. Her background in business consulting can be useful when practical planning and accountability matter.
To begin, she invites people to reflect on what they want to change and bring that to the first conversation.
How Katie's Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It’s useful for anxiety, stress, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to reduce distress and improve mood. That approach helps with depression, anxiety, and many everyday problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early patterns affect current relationships and helps people build new ways of connecting and responding.Katie treats finding the right approach as a shared process. She will discuss your goals and preferences, try methods that fit your situation, and adjust the plan as you learn what helps. The aim is to build a collaborative path that feels useful and doable.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that’s helpful. Phone sessions work well for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging give flexible ways to check in between sessions or to use if typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, family, and daily routines while keeping the focus on consistent progress.
