Pamela Katra, LCSW, LICSW

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Work

Client-centered therapy puts the client's perspective and values at the center of care, emphasizing empathy and collaboration to explore what matters most and to develop coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and processing core emotions to improve attachment and intimacy, making it useful for people facing relationship-related stress or difficulties connecting with others. Mindfulness therapy teaches skills for staying present and regulating overwhelming emotions, which can reduce rumination and support coping with grief, stress, and ADHD-related challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Pamela works with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal style. She collaborates on pacing, integrates techniques as needed, and adjusts the plan over time so the work remains relevant and effective for each individual.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone meetings, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to access care from different locations and schedules. These options can make regular attendance easier, support ongoing skill practice between sessions, and accommodate varying comfort levels with in-person work while keeping licensed professionals and therapists central to the process.
