How Catherine’s Approaches Work Online

Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships shape feelings and behavior, helping people notice patterns in close connections and build more secure ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and routine behaviors and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety and manage stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and shift core emotions so they can connect more clearly with themselves and others.

Choosing a method is a collaborative process. Catherine will talk with each person about goals, past experiences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which approach or combination of approaches fits best and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online formats offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter, focused check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support more frequent, brief exchanges and can help people keep progress between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or treatment schedules while working on emotional and relationship goals.
