BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and practice small steps that align with those values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions by focusing on actions rather than getting stuck in unhelpful thoughts.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Sessions often include testing new ways of responding and practicing techniques that reduce distress and improve daily routines.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kathleen will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods over time. Clients and the therapist work together to decide which strategies fit best for specific problems and life demands.
Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use sessions during a break at work or from another convenient location. Ask about which session formats are offered when you complete the matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.
