Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Care
Kathleen Slee draws from approaches that can be practical and supportive in an online setting. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, supportive relationship where clients can explore emotions and experiences at their own pace. It can be especially helpful when working through grief, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, or the aftermath of trauma and abuse.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients notice patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, then practice new ways of responding. It is often used to build coping skills for depression, anxiety, and everyday stressors, and it can offer a clear structure for making changes between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier communication, which can be useful when feelings are intense or situations feel overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kathleen collaborates with clients to understand goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked in the past, then tailors the work accordingly.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit support into real life. Sessions can happen through video calls or phone sessions, and clients can also use live chat or text-based messaging for added flexibility and continuity between scheduled appointments.
