How Katie uses focused approaches in online care
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In sessions Katie uses CBT to help people spot unhelpful thought patterns and try small behavior changes that reduce symptoms like anxiety, panic, or depressive thinking.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. This approach can be useful for people who struggle with intense anger, impulsivity, or unstable mood by offering practical tools to manage strong feelings in the moment.
Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment with nonjudgmental noticing. It helps reduce reactivity and build awareness, which supports work on anger, anxiety, and stress management.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients are part of deciding which techniques to prioritize.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules and preferences. Video is Katie's typical choice for depth of interaction, while phone or text can be useful for quick check-ins, shorter sessions, or when bandwidth is limited. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines.
