Remote therapy with CBT and solution-focused methods
Kathleen uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and patterns. In practice this can mean working together to notice how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact, then testing small changes to reduce distress and increase effective coping. Cognitive strategies are paired with concrete exercises and reflective work tailored to each person's priorities.
Solution-focused therapy is used alongside CBT to create short-term, goal-oriented plans. This approach emphasizes clients' strengths and past successes to build immediate steps toward change. Sessions often focus on what is working, what a preferred future looks like, and what small, manageable actions move someone in that direction.
Kathleen offers these approaches through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. She frames therapy as collaborative: people who prefer clear goals, practical techniques, and an active working relationship may find this combination a good fit.
