How Kathryn’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is about noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match your values. It helps when people feel stuck by worry, anger, or avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to change feelings and routines. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and managing impulses. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches clear skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. Those skills can reduce sudden emotional reactions and improve handling tense situations.Kathryn treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She works with each person to pick and try techniques that fit their goals and daily life. That way the methods feel relevant and easy to use between sessions.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets you practice skills and read nonverbal cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and short messages or live chat work well for quick check-ins or coaching. These options help people fit therapy into busy days and keep momentum between meetings.
