About Katherine
Katherine uses clear, practical methods in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to spot unhelpful thinking and build new habits. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify values and commit to changes that matter to them.
Her training includes Attachment-Based approaches and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotional regulation and better communication. For trauma work she incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) when appropriate. Sessions tend to focus on concrete skills and steady progress rather than abstract talk.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation about what’s not working and small experiments to try between meetings. Katherine often helps people who feel stuck after a life change, or who are unsure how to move forward at work or in relationships. She encourages practical steps and realistic adjustments.
Katherine accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, select the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small committed actions in line with those values. It can help when someone feels adrift after a change or unsure about work and life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thinking and behavior patterns into manageable pieces and teaches practical skills for anxiety, sleep problems, and mood. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that helps people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist works collaboratively with clients to pick methods that match current goals and preferences. That process may start with simple CBT exercises and add ACT or EMDR elements if they seem helpful.
The biography does not list specific session formats. Please confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or avoid travel for appointments. Therapists and licensed professionals commonly adapt exercises, homework, and skills practice to remote sessions so progress can continue between meetings.
