Approaches that translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, offers empathic listening, and helps shape steps that matter to the individual; this is useful for improving self-esteem and coping with life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. Katrina uses CBT to help people identify unhelpful thinking and practice new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and relationship strain.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It includes tools for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clear communication that many people find helpful during high-stress times.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Katrina will discuss goals and preferences and adjust the plan as sessions progress. Together the therapist and client decide which techniques to try and review what works most effectively.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat or messaging work for brief check-ins and ongoing support, and text sessions can help people stay connected between meetings. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or travel.
