Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Katelyn commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy in her online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors that keep problems going; it is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and parenting-related patterns. Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on understanding and resolving the effects of traumatic events, which can help when past abuse or traumatic experiences affect daily life.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Katelyn will talk with each person about their goals, values, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made and needs change.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules and preferences. Video calls work well for focused sessions that benefit from seeing facial expressions. Phone sessions can fit into a shorter break or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when writing helps express thoughts. These options are meant to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
