BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values. It can be useful for depression, anxiety, and problems with motivation or habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking patterns and practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms like low mood, poor sleep, or unhelpful coping strategies. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) emphasizes understanding emotional responses and improving how people connect with others in close relationships.Choosing the best approach is collaborative. Kathleen will talk with a client about what feels most relevant, try methods that fit their goals, and adjust over time. The emphasis is on experimenting with what works rather than following a fixed plan.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions useful because they can fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when needed. Online work also makes it easier for international clients to connect with a Florida-licensed professional. The therapist will discuss how to structure sessions so they fit a person's daily life and goals.
