Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Attachment-based work looks at how past relationships shape current patterns. Kathleen helps people notice these patterns and try new ways of relating that reduce distress and improve connection. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions; she uses CBT to help people test unhelpful thoughts and practice small behavior changes that lower anxiety and manage cravings.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Kathleen will listen to your goals and preferences, explain different options, and try methods that match your situation. She checks in regularly and adapts the plan based on what is helpful and what needs more time.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual connection helps the work; phone calls can fit a shorter break or when bandwidth is limited. Chat or text sessions let people check in between meetings or use brief coaching-style support. These options make it easier to keep consistent care while juggling work, childcare, or medical appointments.
