How Katrina’s Approaches Fit Online Care
Client-centered work focuses on the person’s concerns and goals. It involves listening closely, reflecting what matters to the client, and shaping sessions around their priorities. This helps when stress or life changes make it hard to know where to begin.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches simple skills people can use between sessions to reduce anxiety and manage mood. That practical focus often pairs well with online work because assignments and tracking can be reviewed remotely.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, provides tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These skills can be useful for people dealing with intense emotions, relationship strain, or self-directed anger.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively to learn about goals, preferences, and what has helped before. Together they will try methods that match the person’s needs and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
