How Catherine's approaches translate to online therapy

Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and repetitive worries by offering practical exercises and thought-checking techniques.

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's pace. This approach supports people who need a compassionate space to sort feelings and decide on next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Catherine will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean combining CBT skills with a client-centered pace or adding mindfulness practices for stress relief.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from a convenient location. It can also offer simpler options for brief check-ins or phone conversations when time or bandwidth is limited.
