Attachment, Client-Centered, and CBT approaches for online care

Kate uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationship patterns shape current connections and emotional responses - this approach can be helpful for people working through abandonment, attachment issues, or relationship difficulties. She also applies Client-Centered Therapy, offering a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where the client’s goals and perspectives guide the work and support growth in self-esteem and motivation. In addition, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to develop practical skills for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Kate works collaboratively with each person to determine the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She combines these methods as appropriate and adapts them to the client’s pace and circumstances.

Online therapy with Kate is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
