How Kathleen’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience. In practice this means the therapist follows the client's lead, reflects concerns back, and helps the person feel heard so they can try new ways of coping. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions include identifying unhelpful thinking and practicing specific behavioral changes to reduce anger, anxiety, or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kathleen collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and daily life. Together they review what’s helping, adjust techniques, and set practical steps to try between sessions so progress can be tracked and refined.

The profile does not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or avoid travel time. It also supports continuing care when life changes make in-person visits difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets, and coping plans for remote sessions so clients can practice skills where they live and work.
