Online session options
How narrative and skills work online
Online sessions with Katie often mix narrative ideas and practical skills. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps rewrite unhelpful narratives. It can be useful for issues like shame, low self-worth, and identity questions.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding a person’s perspective and building on strengths. This helps people feel heard and supported while they set goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) adds concrete tools to spot and change thinking patterns that fuel anxiety, depression, or compulsive habits.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Katie will work with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so sessions stay useful and realistic.
Online therapy offers flexibility and makes it easier to fit care into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good option for brief check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for short updates, coaching between sessions, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options let people maintain momentum and access support from different locations and schedules.
