Client-centered therapy places the person's experience first. The therapist listens without judgment and follows the client's lead to build trust and clarity. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Katie will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Then she and the client decide collaboratively which methods to try and adjust them over time based on progress and feedback.

If you plan to pursue online options, please confirm the current session formats before booking because the profile does not list specific formats. Online work can make scheduling easier and fit therapy into busy days. It can also allow a shorter check-in when time is tight, spare travel time, or let someone continue care while living in another location. Licensed professionals, including therapists, adapt the methods above to work remotely, offering guided conversation, skills practice, and step-by-step plans you can use between sessions.
