Online support

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Existential Therapy invites people to look at meaning, purpose, and the choices that shape daily life. It can help when someone feels empty, stuck, or uncertain about identity and direction. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own experience and priorities, using empathetic listening and nonjudgmental support to help people clarify what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and testing small changes that reduce anxiety or lift mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kathryn treats therapy as a collaboration and will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how different methods might fit. Together they decide which ideas to try first and adjust the plan as needed based on what is helpful.

Online therapy with Kathryn uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and reading nonverbal cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits the schedule. Live chat and text messaging allow quick reflections, regular check-ins, and written notes people can re-read between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work over time.
