Katie’s style is down-to-earth and person-centered. She focuses on building trust and respect first. From there she helps people set practical goals and try strategies that fit everyday life.

How Katie’s approaches shape online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and shapes goals around their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical tools to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is often useful for stress, anxiety, and mood concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katie will discuss goals and preferences and then recommend which methods to try. This is a collaborative process where the person and therapist check what is working and make adjustments together.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that work around work and family timing. Talk with Katie about what will fit your routine and she will help plan sessions that match your life and goals.
