Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Care

Catherine Sechrist uses a flexible, individualized style, drawing from approaches that can work well in online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new ways of responding, which can be especially useful when anxiety, stress, or self-esteem concerns are getting in the way of daily life.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward what matters most. It often supports people who feel stuck in worry, grief, or major life changes and want to build a more values-driven path forward. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills can also be incorporated to strengthen emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication, offering practical tools for navigating intense feelings and stressful situations.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Catherine works collaboratively, taking time to understand each client’s goals, preferences, and pace, then adapting the methods used so therapy feels relevant and workable.

Online therapy offers multiple ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit support into a busy schedule, continue care during transitions, and choose the format that feels most comfortable day to day.
