How Kathleen Uses Talk and Thought Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding your experience and goals. The therapist listens carefully and follows your lead so sessions reflect what matters most to you. This approach works well for building trust, clarifying priorities, and shaping a plan that fits your life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and replace them with more useful ways of thinking and acting. It is practical and goal-oriented, and often involves simple exercises to practice between sessions for issues like depression, anxiety, and managing compulsive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kathleen will work with you to decide which methods make sense for your concerns, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time based on what is helping and what needs to change.
