How Katrina’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy puts the person’s experience first and creates space to talk through what matters most. Online sessions using this approach focus on listening, validation, and helping the client set priorities for change. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and homework that can be done between sessions. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress; those skills can be practiced and reviewed in remote sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and what feels helpful in early sessions. Adjustments are normal and expected as progress unfolds.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins when people need a focused update or skill review. Therapists can assign short between-session exercises, review progress, and help plan next steps so therapy complements daily life without demanding big schedule changes.
