Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters most to them and take meaningful action in line with those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for challenges like motivation, self-esteem struggles, and adapting to life changes.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and a nonjudgmental stance from the therapist, creating a space where clients can explore intimacy issues, parenting concerns, and personal goals at their own pace. The therapist supports clients in finding their own solutions and building confidence.

Mindfulness Therapy offers practical ways to develop present-moment awareness and calm reactivity, which can aid in coping with grief, stress, and emotional overwhelm. These approaches are presented collaboratively - Kathleen will work with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and may adapt techniques over time as the work progresses.

Online therapy with a licensed professional brings flexibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. This range of options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, to maintain continuity during transitions, and to access support from different locations.
