Online support

Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of closeness and trust. It helps people notice repeating relationship habits and try new ways of connecting that feel safer and more honest.

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's experience in the moment. The therapist listens without judgment, follows the client's pace, and helps them find their own answers to life questions.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and build coping skills for anxiety, mood issues, and stress.

Katherine approaches choices about method as a collaboration. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try approaches that match those needs. Finding the right fit is an ongoing conversation rather than a one-time decision.

Online work is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are useful for frequent, brief check-ins, homework support, or when writing feels more natural. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, caregiving, and daily life.
