Online support
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
This therapist uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when someone wants to change how they respond to hard emotions.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space. This approach helps people feel heard and build trust before trying new skills or making changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kathryne will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts the plan over time based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows visual connection and more interaction for skills practice. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging work well for brief support, homework check-ins, or when someone prefers writing instead of speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep progress moving between appointments.
