Remote sessions and therapeutic approaches
Catherine provides remote support through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. She adapts communication to individual preference so people can engage in ways that fit their schedules and comfort with different formats.
She uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify and shift unhelpful patterns in thinking and behavior. In accessible terms, this approach involves setting concrete goals, practicing skills between sessions, and examining how thoughts influence emotions and actions, which can suit people who prefer structured, skill-based work.
For those processing traumatic memories, Catherine draws on EMDR alongside mindfulness practices. EMDR aims to reduce the intensity of troubling memories through guided processing, while mindfulness therapy focuses on present-moment awareness and developing a nonjudgmental stance toward thoughts and sensations. Together these methods can fit individuals seeking both trauma-focused processing and strategies for managing stress in daily life.
