Online support

How Kathleen’s Approaches Translate Online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and make sense of strong feelings. Online sessions use conversation and focused attention to identify emotional patterns that affect relationships and personal well-being. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches ways to accept hard feelings while taking action toward a valued life. In an online session this can mean practicing simple exercises and noticing responses in the moment to build willingness and direction.

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s perspective at the center of the work. Kathleen listens carefully and follows what matters most to the client, helping them find their own solutions. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process - the therapist and client discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps most. Kathleen will work alongside the client to find which techniques fit their needs and preferences.

Online therapy offers practical benefits like flexibility and easier scheduling. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be simpler to fit into a break, and live chat or text messaging offer quick check-ins or support when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep consistent contact and practice new skills between sessions.
