Approach Notes and Online Support

Many of Katherine’s methods are well suited to online work because they focus on skills and structured practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors; it works well for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can help with intense emotions and relationship strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Katherine will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences. Sessions involve checking progress, trying tools in real life, and adjusting plans when something is not working.

Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm what is currently offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also supports working on skills between sessions and keeping continuity when life circumstances change.
