How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions
Katie commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior skills in her work. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going, which can help with anxiety, guilt, and low mood. Dialectical behavior skills teach concrete tools for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and practicing interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. Katie will discuss goals and preferences with each person and collaborate to choose methods that fit the client’s needs. That includes adjusting pace, focusing on skills practice, or exploring personal history when needed.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit therapy into a break at work, avoid travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises for a video or phone conversation and plan homework that fits everyday life.
