Remote therapy options and approach



Katie offers remote sessions using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats are used to deliver the same range of clinical approaches she employs in her practice and to maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are not an option.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to help clients clarify what matters to them and to notice internal experiences without getting overwhelmed by them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing practical behavioral changes. Both approaches emphasize concrete steps that a person and therapist can track together.

The Gottman Method is brought to conversations about relationship dynamics, communication, and conflict patterns. Together these methods can be combined to address stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma-related difficulties, and questions about self-esteem and purpose. She frames online work as collaborative, inviting clients to shape the pace and focus of sessions while using the available remote communication tools.
