Remote approaches and communication options
Catherine offers online sessions via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. In remote work she draws on documented therapeutic approaches and adapts techniques to match a person’s goals and preferences.Cognitive behavioral therapy is used to identify thought patterns and practice concrete coping strategies for symptoms such as anxiety, panic, and mood shifts. Mindfulness therapy supports present-moment awareness and stress management skills that can be practiced between sessions.
Psychodynamic therapy helps explore longstanding relational patterns and how past experiences shape current reactions, while a client-centered stance prioritizes the person’s perspective and strengths. Catherine frames remote sessions as collaborative work, with goal-setting and mutually agreed steps that fit the selected communication method.
