Background and approach
Katie blends approaches that fit each person’s needs. She uses cognitive behavioral methods to spot unhelpful thoughts, acceptance-based ideas to increase willingness around hard feelings, and attachment-informed work to improve close relationships. Much of the work centers on skills you can practice in daily life.
Her background includes a decade of clinical experience working with a broad range of concerns. That experience informs straightforward tools for panic, obsessive patterns, parenting strain, and career stress. Katie helps people break problems into manageable steps and track small wins.
Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and how to get there. Katie will collaborate on a plan that balances short-term relief with longer-term growth. She welcomes discussions about how therapy can fit into busy schedules and different life stages.
How Katie’s Approaches Fit Online Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck by them. It emphasizes values-guided action, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches clear skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which works well for panic, OCD, phobias, and social anxiety. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding emotions in relationships and improving how people connect, which is useful for intimacy-related issues and attachment concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up day to day. Then she will recommend methods and adjust them over time so sessions match what the client needs and wants.
Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls make it possible to use visual cues and practice role-play or emotion-focused exercises. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, skill reminders, and flexible communication between longer sessions. These options aim to make therapy more accessible and easier to fit into busy lives.
