Evidence-based approaches and online care
Cathleen uses practical, evidence-based techniques to help people manage symptoms and make changes. One approach focuses on building skills to manage intense emotions and panic - teaching breathing, grounding, and step-by-step plans to reduce the impact of panic attacks. Another approach emphasizes behavioral changes that support recovery from addictions and improve motivation by breaking goals into small, doable tasks and tracking progress. Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try approaches, and adjust based on how well they fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. This is a collaborative process where input from the person shapes the plan. Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone needs a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging support shorter updates, homework check-ins, and ongoing encouragement between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep progress moving forward.Frequently asked questions
