About Catherine

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and current relationship patterns influence emotional needs and reactions; it can be helpful for people who want to understand recurring themes in their relationships and feel more supported in connections. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with life changes. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on practical steps and short-term goals to build momentum and notice progress quickly, which many clients find useful when seeking targeted change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be shaped by each person’s concerns, goals, and preferences. The therapist works collaboratively with clients to select or combine methods that feel most helpful, adjusting the plan over time as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules or manage mobility and location constraints. These formats support ongoing momentum between sessions and allow therapists and clients to maintain a steady course of work even when in-person meetings are not feasible.
