How Catherine’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify core emotions that shape relationship patterns and then practice new ways of responding to deepen connection and reduce reactivity. It is useful when trust, closeness, or emotional distance are central concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting patterns of thinking that increase anxiety or sadness and testing small behavioral experiments to change those patterns. It works well for managing worry, changing unhelpful habits, and learning practical coping skills.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages people to clarify personal values and take committed action even when difficult feelings are present. This approach can help with motivation, handling painful emotions, and living in ways that feel meaningful.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Catherine collaborates with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and life. She draws on different tools across sessions and checks in regularly to make sure the plan is helpful.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet when it fits your schedule. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for exercises and emotional work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text sessions are useful for brief check-ins or when typing feels more comfortable. These options let people keep progress steady while juggling work, caregiving, or travel.
