How Kaitlin’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, understanding a person’s goals, and shaping sessions around what matters most to them. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive space to sort priorities and make changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides practical coping skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening relationships.

Choosing the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. That collaboration guides which approaches are used and how sessions are structured so the work fits the client’s needs.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use video or audio in ways that suit them, and keeps the focus on learning skills, practicing new behaviors, and tracking progress over time.
