Sessions are offered in multiple formats and Katherine accepts international clients. She encourages people to take the first step when they feel ready and will help tailor a plan that fits their life and goals.
How client-centered and trauma-focused care works online
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and follows the client’s pace to set goals that feel manageable. This approach helps people who want a supportive, nonjudgmental space to talk through stress, relationships, or body image concerns.Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and reducing the long-term effects of trauma and abuse. It uses focused conversations and strategies to address triggers, intrusive memories, and the ways trauma shapes relationships and mood. This approach is often used when trauma or post-traumatic stress symptoms are a key concern.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss your priorities, symptoms, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then recommend ways to proceed. Together you can try different tools and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different needs. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when clients prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging support quick check-ins, brief reflections, and ongoing skill practice between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, handle a shorter check-in, or stay connected while traveling.
