Online support

How Katie’s approaches translate to online therapy

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and working with strong emotions to change unhelpful interaction patterns. Online sessions can guide people to notice feelings, name them, and practice new emotional responses in real time. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental stance and active listening. That approach fits well with video or phone sessions where the therapist reflects and helps people feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT tasks and skill-building translate easily to chat or text-based formats for quick practice and check-ins.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Katie will work with each person to decide which combination of methods fits their goals, needs, and comfort level. She adapts plans over time based on progress and feedback so sessions stay practical and relevant.

Online formats offer real flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and reading cues. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or useful when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easy to share brief updates, practice skills, or get support between longer sessions. These options let people schedule care around work, school, and family life while keeping therapy consistent and focused.
