Evidence-based approaches and online care
Many of Katharine's methods come from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach uses skill-building to manage anxiety and stress through breathing, grounding, and behavior changes that reduce immediate symptoms. Another approach addresses trauma and abuse by helping people make sense of their experiences and gradually restore a sense of safety and control in daily life. These approaches aim to reduce distress and increase coping capacity for problems like grief, addictions, and attention difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katharine aims to collaborate with each person to identify goals, test what helps, and adjust methods over time. She tailors the plan to the client's needs, preferences, and pace so therapy stays relevant and useful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are useful for real-time conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a busy day or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins and written reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a routine and keep progress moving forward.
