How Katie's Approaches Work Online

Attachment-based work looks at how early connections shape present relationships and feelings. It helps when worry, mistrust, or closeness feels difficult by naming patterns and practicing different ways of relating. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers concrete strategies to test unhelpful thoughts and build new habits that reduce anxiety and low mood. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple exercises to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting swept away by them, which can help with stress, sleep, and daily reactivity.

Finding the right fit is part of therapy. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which approaches to try and adjust them as progress is made in sessions.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. Katie aims to help sessions match everyday life so people can practice new skills between meetings and bring real situations into therapy for workable change.
