  2. How Kathleen Uses Motivational and Acceptance-Based Approaches Online

    Motivational Interviewing focuses on drawing out a person's own reasons for change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to help people increase motivation and commitment to small, doable steps. This approach can help with substance use, habit change, and making progress when someone feels stuck.

    Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes clarifying personal values and taking action that matches those values, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy supports the process by prioritizing respectful listening and collaboration so clients set the pace.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kathleen will help figure out which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. She treats the choice as collaborative and may combine elements from different approaches to match what a client wants to achieve.

    Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone use audio-only or video options depending on what feels most practical. Ask about available formats when scheduling to find what suits everyday life.
