How Katelyn’s Approaches Help Online
Katelyn often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood. It gives clear tools and small experiments people can try between sessions to test new ways of thinking.She also draws on Narrative Therapy, which helps people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. This approach can be useful for people carrying guilt, shame, or complicated feelings around adoption and foster care experiences.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight.
