Approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and getting unstuck when parenting or life changes feel overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic, OCD worries, or depressive thinking. It often includes clear exercises to practice between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape feelings and closeness, which can help with intimacy, bonding, and family dynamics.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Katie will talk with you about your goals, preferences, and how you respond to different ideas. Together you can try options and adjust the plan as needed so the work fits your life and priorities.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy parents and people on the go. Video sessions let you work face to face from where you are. Phone sessions can be a shorter check-in when time is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can help keep momentum between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a work break, a nap schedule, or a commute and support steady progress without extra travel.
