How Kathie Uses Talk Therapy Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s experience. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people name their goals. This approach can help anyone who needs a steady, understanding presence while they sort through hard feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Sessions involve identifying unhelpful thinking, trying small experiments, and practicing new skills between meetings. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress related to health challenges.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name emotions in the moment and learn new ways to respond. It can be useful for managing strong feelings after loss, trauma, or when relationships are strained.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kathie will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and what feels most useful. She combines methods as needed and checks in to see what is or isn’t working, so the plan evolves with the client.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins, or remove travel time. Talk with the therapist when scheduling to choose the best format for your situation and daily routine.
