Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Katherine Stratton, LMFT, uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients make sense of stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and depression in practical, compassionate ways. Therapy often focuses on building self-acceptance and identifying the patterns that keep someone feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or emotionally exhausted, including compassion fatigue.

Brainspotting is one approach she is trained in. It is a focused method that helps people work with the thoughts, memories, and emotional responses connected to distress, supporting the mind and body in processing what has been hard to carry. Evidence-based strategies can also include skills that strengthen coping and emotional regulation, helping clients respond differently to triggers and day-to-day pressure over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katherine collaborates with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and pace, adjusting sessions as needs become clearer and new insights emerge.

Online therapy can make that process easier to sustain with flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats can help clients fit support into busy schedules, reduce barriers to getting started, and stay connected between sessions in a way that feels manageable.
