How Katy’s approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking actions that fit those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help when anxiety, depression, or uncertainty get in the way of meaningful goals. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and patterns in adult connections; this work helps people understand recurring relationship struggles and try new ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and pace, using empathy and active listening so clients feel heard and decide their next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Katy works collaboratively to figure out which methods feel most useful based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as the work progresses.

Confirm the specific session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, and let people meet without needing to be on camera if that helps. Licensed professionals use these approaches to help clients practice new skills and make steady changes, even when meeting remotely.
