For career or life-change worries she focuses on decision points, coping tactics, and pacing change so it feels doable. When compassion fatigue or caregiver strain is present, she looks at workload, supports, and small changes that reduce burnout risk.
Approaches Kathryn uses include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. She explains tools in plain language and helps people practice them in daily life. Kathryn aims to set realistic short-term goals and to track progress in straightforward ways.

BHow sessions work
How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and for breaking down parenting challenges into manageable actions. DBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It is often helpful when strong emotions or conflict make problem solving harder. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck about change by exploring values and increasing motivation in small steps.Choosing the right approach is part of the work and happens together. Kathryn will help clients test approaches and adapt methods to fit their goals and day-to-day life. That collaborative process guides whether sessions focus more on skills practice, problem solving, or motivational work.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking.
