How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and then take actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and getting unstuck when life feels overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, and anger. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses and closeness; it can help with intimacy issues and communication problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katie will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. She mixes practical skill-building and emotionally-focused work so clients can try small changes and notice what helps.
