Online support
How Cathy’s approaches translate to online care
Attachment-based work looks at how early patterns shape current relationships and helps people notice repeated interaction cycles. This approach can be useful for relationship strain, attachment issues, and emotional cutoffs by focusing on feelings that come up in close connections.Client-centered therapy centers on respectful listening and following the person’s lead. It supports people who need a nonjudgmental space to talk through parenting stress, grief, or low self-esteem and helps build confidence through empathy and reflection.
Cognitive behavioral ideas help identify unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors in everyday life. These techniques are often used for anxiety, depression, sleep or eating concerns, and for managing ADHD-related challenges by breaking problems into small steps.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Cathy works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts methods over time as needs change.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. Video sessions allow more visual connection, phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option, live chat can suit short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or other life demands.
