Remote counseling and approaches
Catherine offers online sessions that use several evidence-informed methods adapted for remote work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is presented in accessible terms, focusing on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and building concrete coping skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy contributes tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, helping clients manage intense feelings and interactions.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy are also part of her toolkit. ACT centers on values-based action and experiential exercises to increase psychological flexibility. EFT brings attention to attachment and emotional experience within relationships. Together these approaches support both symptom-focused skill building and deeper work on patterns that shape relationships and personal meaning.
Sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Catherine emphasizes collaborative planning so clients and therapist can choose which strategies and communication formats best suit each person’s goals and rhythms.
