Remote sessions and therapeutic approaches



Catherine offers online sessions that draw on several evidence-informed methods so the work can be tailored to each client. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to explore personal values and to develop ways of living that align with what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and practicing new strategies to reduce distress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.

These approaches are combined with client-centered and solution-focused elements to create a collaborative path forward. Catherine frames sessions around the client’s priorities and uses active skill teaching, problem solving, and reflective exploration as appropriate. Online appointments can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different preferences and needs.
