How Catherine applies proven approaches online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and trying small, practical experiments to shift them. It helps with anxiety, depression, social fears, and stress by teaching skills to manage thoughts and reactions.

Solution-Focused Therapy centers on concrete goals and quick, doable steps. Sessions look for what is already working and build on strengths to move toward specific, achievable changes. It is useful for addressing relationship concerns, parenting challenges, workplace issues, and life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Catherine will discuss options and tailor methods based on a person's goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. The therapist and client collaborate to try approaches and adjust them as needed to fit what helps most.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different routines. Video sessions make it easy to have a longer conversation; phone sessions can fit into a short break or when lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat or text messaging can allow quicker check-ins, brief skill practice, or support between longer sessions. These options help people access therapy around work, family demands, and travel.
