Evidence-based approaches and online care

Katherine uses straightforward, evidence-based techniques to help people manage emotions and solve problems. One approach focuses on practical problem solving - breaking big problems into smaller tasks, setting achievable goals, and trying new ways of handling difficult situations. This helps with parenting challenges, relationship strain, and daily stress.

Another common approach helps people process grief and loss by naming difficult feelings, creating space to remember what was lost, and finding ways to adjust routines and roles. This kind of work supports coping and gradual adjustment after major changes.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client talk about goals, try methods that fit the person's life, and adjust as needed. Katherine supports clients in deciding what works best based on their needs and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people keep face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging provide a way to stay in touch between sessions or to share thoughts when typing is easier. These options make it possible to fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
