How Cathy’s Approaches Guide Online Care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's goals. In an online setting this means Cathy will ask what matters most to you and then shape sessions around those concerns. Motivational interviewing helps people weigh options and find motivation to change, which is useful for issues like addictions, ambivalence about life changes, or getting unstuck. Solution-focused therapy looks for small, practical steps that can lead to quick improvements and keeps conversations action-oriented and forward-moving.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cathy treats approach selection as a collaborative process and will adapt methods based on your needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in about what is working and adjusts the plan so therapy stays useful and focused on achievable aims.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can fit a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging make it easy to check in between meetings or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep progress moving forward.
