Approaches, Collaboration, and the Convenience of Online Care

Catherine integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in close relationships and how early bonds influence current connection and trust; it is often helpful for family and relationship challenges. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client’s perspective and supports self-directed growth through empathetic listening and validation, making it useful for stress, depression, and building self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical skills to manage anxiety, low mood, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Catherine works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences. When offered by licensed professionals, these methods can be combined and adapted over time to respond to the client’s progress.

Online therapy with Catherine is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexible ways to access care around work, family, and daily life. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of support and to use therapeutic tools in the contexts where challenges arise.
