Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Katherine integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness Therapy into her work. CBT focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms such as anxiety or low mood and to support healthier day-to-day coping. DBT emphasizes practical skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for clients managing intense emotions or relationship challenges. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and acceptance skills that can reduce rumination and support more consistent self-regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Katherine collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting work as progress unfolds so the plan remains responsive and practical.

Online therapy offers flexibility and easier access to care. Licensed professionals, including Katherine, can meet with clients through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which helps accommodate busy schedules, mobility needs, and geographic distance while maintaining a consistent therapeutic relationship.
