Online support
Practical approaches for online care
Two common, evidence-based ways Kellie uses focus on understanding patterns and building skills. One approach looks at relationship and attachment patterns to notice how early experiences shape current reactions and communication. This helps when people struggle with abandonment, attachment issues, or codependency. Another approach emphasizes skills for emotion regulation and coping - teaching concrete steps to manage anxiety, anger, sleep problems, and cravings. These techniques include short exercises and behavioral changes to try between sessions.Finding the right method is part of the work. Kellie will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which approaches to try and adjust the plan as progress and challenges arise.
Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer therapy sessions and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or meet needs when bandwidth is low. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, reminders, or reflection between longer meetings. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on practical change.
