How therapy approaches translate to online care
Katie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thought patterns that fuel anxiety or low mood. CBT focuses on practical exercises and simple experiments that are easy to practice between sessions. It is often used for stress, anxiety, sleep problems, and depression.She also applies a strengths-based, solution-focused approach that highlights personal resources and quick steps forward. This method centers on small, achievable goals and builds on what is already working in someone's life, which can be helpful for coping with life changes, parenting strain, or compassion fatigue.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Katie works together with each person to pick strategies that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. She checks in regularly and adjusts plans based on what feels useful and realistic.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, parenting, or travel schedules.
