How Katie’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy emphasizes understanding each person’s perspective and building a respectful, collaborative relationship. It focuses on listening, reflecting what someone says, and helping them feel heard so they can explore change at their own pace.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and tests small changes to see what helps. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and some patterns that keep returning in daily life.
Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change. It uses focused questions and collaboration to clarify goals and strengthen motivation for shifting habits, including substance use or lifestyle changes.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Katie will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they choose methods and adjust them over time so the plan fits the client’s needs.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video is helpful for full conversations and teaching skills. Phone sessions can be a good shorter check-in or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, homework check-ins, or when typing feels more comfortable than speaking.
