BHow sessions work
How Kerrie uses evidence-based approaches online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, looks at thoughts and behaviors to find small changes that reduce anxiety and low mood. It is practical and often involves simple exercises to try between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and breath-based practices to lower reactivity and bring focus back to the present moment. It can help with stress, panic, and rumination.Choosing the right approach is a collaboration. Kerrie will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will pick methods to try. She tracks what helps and adjusts approaches if something is not working well for the individual's needs.
The therapist's biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make fitting therapy into a day easier, for example allowing sessions during a lunch break or removing travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when that better fits a schedule. Kerrie uses techniques that translate to remote sessions, such as thought records, mindfulness exercises, and brief action plans that people can practice between meetings.
