Therapy approaches that translate well online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating issues, and many daily stressors.

DBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches clear skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling conflict more effectively. Mindfulness Therapy helps people slow down, notice the present moment, and reduce overwhelm through simple attention practices.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Katherine will collaborate with each person to figure out which tools and methods fit their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adapts methods if something is not helping.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to use therapy around busy schedules and to practice skills in real life. Licensed professionals can guide homework, review progress, and adjust plans without requiring travel to an office.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
