How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Katherine’s practice is grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to change unhelpful patterns and reduce distress. One common approach she uses focuses on processing trauma and post-traumatic stress by helping people tell their story, spot triggers, and build coping skills to manage strong reactions. Another approach centers on skills for anxiety and stress management, teaching breathing, behavioral planning, and stepwise exposure to reduce avoidance and improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Katherine will work with each person to identify goals, test what helps, and adjust methods based on progress and preference. She frames treatment around practical steps that can be tried between sessions and reviewed over time.
