How Kathryn's Approaches Work Online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on feelings and attachment needs. It helps people identify core emotions, understand how they respond in relationships, and practice new ways of reaching for connection. This approach is often helpful for couples or individuals dealing with intimacy-related issues and fear of abandonment.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past relationships and early experiences shape current behavior. It helps people notice repeating patterns, understand underlying motives, and make different choices in present relationships. This can be useful for those facing family of origin problems, midlife transitions, or persistent emotional themes like guilt and shame.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Kathryn works collaboratively with clients to decide which methods best match their goals and life circumstances. She checks in regularly and adjusts focus as needs change.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is an issue, and messaging supports quick check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and can help people keep momentum while balancing family, work, and other commitments.
