How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Katie describes her work as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques. One common approach she uses focuses on building practical coping skills that reduce anxiety and manage stress. That work involves identifying triggers, practicing specific strategies, and tracking small changes over time. Another approach she applies centers on trauma recovery and processing past abuse. This involves paced discussions of difficult memories, learning ways to manage strong feelings, and developing routines that support stability. Both approaches aim to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning rather than promise a specific outcome. Finding the right approach is part of the process. Katie collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She reviews what seems to help and adjusts plans as work progresses so the approach stays practical and personally relevant. Session formats should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific online options. Ask about available formats when you schedule. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time, which helps people maintain regular appointments alongside work or caregiving obligations.Sheet 3
