Remote approaches and session formats
Online work with Catherine Filary integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside mindfulness techniques. CBT is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and to develop concrete coping skills. ACT focuses on values, acceptance, and behavioral steps toward a meaningful life, helping clients clarify what matters most and take committed action.
Mindfulness exercises and nervous system reset practices are offered to increase present-moment awareness and regulation. Motivational interviewing is used when clients are exploring ambivalence about change, particularly in the context of addictions and recovery. Catherine works collaboratively, tailoring methods to each person's goals and preferences.
Remote sessions are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different communication styles and needs.
