How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current connections. Online work uses conversations and reflective exercises to notice those patterns and try new ways of relating.Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening deeply and shaping sessions around the person's goals. In remote sessions, this means the therapist follows the client's lead, offers empathy, and helps people find their own solutions.
Kaitlyn will collaborate with each person to find the best approach for their needs and goals. She discusses options, tries techniques together, and adjusts based on how someone responds. Finding the right fit is a shared process rather than a one-time choice.
Online therapy can fit into busy lives through different formats. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations for deep work, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to join, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging helps people reflect between sessions. These options make scheduling easier and let people pick what works for each situation.
