Background and approach
Many clients seek help with shame, guilt, or figuring out a clearer life purpose. Her approach blends straightforward, skills-based work with attention to a person’s broader needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to change unhelpful thinking and build coping skills.
Mindfulness and Solution-Focused methods are woven in to develop practical goals and moments of calm. Sessions emphasize strengths and small, doable changes. Conversations are collaborative and paced to each person’s readiness.
Kate helps people name what they want and identify step-by-step ways to get there. She describes therapy as walking beside someone while they try new things and practice different habits. The aim is clearer choices, more self-love, and everyday changes that add up over time.

How these approaches translate to online therapy
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and create short breaks from stress. It helps with anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm by building a capacity to notice feelings without immediate reaction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and low self-worth because it gives concrete tools to change thinking and behavior.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. Its focus on distress tolerance and emotional regulation can be helpful during major life changes or when feeling easily overwhelmed.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. Treatment plans can shift over time based on what helps most, and decisions are made together throughout care.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video allows face-to-face conversation when schedules permit. Phone calls can be a good option when bandwidth is low or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging work well for short updates, brief skill practice, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy routines and different life demands.
