How Katie’s approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. The therapist creates space for people to talk through what matters most and to build goals from their own strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and habits and teaches concrete tools to change behavior and mood. This approach often helps with anxiety, panic, sleep disruption, and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and handling distress with steady strategies.Choosing an approach is a joint process. Katie will work with each person to decide which methods feel most useful. She adapts techniques to a person’s goals, day-to-day routine, and what feels doable between sessions.
