Therapeutic approaches used in online work
Kathryn frequently draws on client-centered methods, which means she centers conversations on what matters to the person in front of her. This approach lets clients set the pace and priorities while the therapist listens, reflects, and follows their lead.She also uses solution-focused techniques that concentrate on practical change. These sessions aim to identify workable steps and build on existing strengths to reach goals more quickly. Trauma-focused ideas are used when past harm affects current life, helping people process difficult memories and reduce their ongoing impact.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Kathryn works collaboratively with clients to decide which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences. That conversation can shift over time as priorities change or new challenges arise.
