Background and approach

That experience has shaped a flexible way of working that suits different temperaments and rhythms. She aims to meet people where they are and adapt pace and focus to each person’s needs. Katie works with adults on concerns such as attachment wounds, abandonment issues, body image, eating and food-related struggles, guilt, shame, and problems with impulses or obsessive thoughts.

She also supports those coping with panic, post-traumatic stress, sexual assault or abuse, and questions about life purpose or money stress. People who come seeking clearer boundaries, greater self-love, or relief from repeating patterns will find concrete tools and reflective dialogue in sessions. Katie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and integrates mind-body practices to help clients build skills for day-to-day life.

Online support

Evidence-based approaches brought to online care

Katie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that combine talk therapy with mind-body practices. One common approach she uses focuses on grounding and bodily awareness to reduce anxiety and panic; it teaches simple breathing and movement strategies to calm intense reactions and regain a sense of control. Another approach emphasizes processing trauma in small, manageable steps so memories and reactions feel less overwhelming; this method helps with post-traumatic stress and recovery after sexual assault or abuse.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and what feels manageable. Together they decide which strategies to try and adjust them over time based on what helps most.

Online therapy makes those conversations and practices easier to fit into life. Video calls let people work through body-based exercises while the therapist observes and guides. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option when video is difficult. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short check-ins, between-session coaching, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These formats offer flexibility, consistent contact, and ways to practice skills in everyday moments.
