Remote care and therapeutic approach
Kathlena Reed provides teletherapy using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Her remote work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify and reframe unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and on Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These approaches translate into structured sessions that include skill practice and collaborative goal setting.
Motivational Interviewing is used when addressing change-oriented goals such as substance use or other behavioral shifts, focusing on exploring ambivalence and strengthening motivation. Trauma-focused techniques, informed by training in Prolonged Exposure and other trauma interventions, are applied thoughtfully and in coordination with client readiness. Kathlena emphasizes a collaborative fit, inviting clients to participate in shaping treatment priorities and pace while using remote tools to maintain regular contact and skill reinforcement between sessions.
