How Catherine’s approaches translate to online work
Catherine uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change and take small steps forward. This approach focuses on listening, asking helpful questions, and building motivation rather than pushing advice. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s lead and create a respectful, nonjudgmental space. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, when used, breaks concerns into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills for coping and problem solving.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Catherine will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which methods fit best. That conversation is part of the first sessions and can be adjusted over time as needs change.
The therapist's biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins between other responsibilities. Others appreciate that some sessions can focus on skill practice or short problem-solving visits when life gets busy. Licensed professionals can adapt techniques like motivational interviewing and CBT to remote work, while keeping the focus on practical goals and steady progress. -
