Sessions focus on identifying what’s causing the most distress, naming strengths, and trying techniques that can be practiced between meetings. She uses straightforward tools from CBT to change unhelpful thinking and DBT skills for emotional regulation. EMDR and mindfulness methods are offered when trauma processing or present-moment skills are helpful.

How Katie’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and collaboration. The therapist follows the client’s lead, helps set goals, and adjusts support based on what the client says is most important. This approach helps with a wide range of concerns including relationship stress, parenting strain, and coping with life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and many everyday stressors because it emphasizes clear steps and exercises to practice between sessions.
EMDR offers a structured way to process traumatic memories when past events continue to cause distress. In short sessions this can reduce the intensity of upsetting memories and make them easier to think about without overwhelming emotion.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katie will review goals, preferences, and how you respond to initial techniques, then recommend which methods to prioritize. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.
Confirm the exact session formats available before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Talk with the therapist about what will fit your routine and which methods you’d like to try during virtual appointments.
