How Catherine’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choosing actions that match your values; this helps with anxiety, anger, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and track emotions so they can respond to relationship and personal feelings with more clarity and care.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Catherine works with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. She combines techniques when needed and checks in often so the plan can shift as progress or obstacles appear. The work is collaborative and paced to what feels manageable for the client.
Online therapy lets people connect in ways that suit their life. Video calls provide face-to-face interaction for skills practice and deeper conversations. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or camera time is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging can work well for quick check-ins, homework support, or shorter coaching-style moments between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum in ongoing work.
