Katelyn also brings in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns that feed anxiety and panic. Motivational Interviewing is used when people want to change behaviors related to substance use or other goals. She blends these methods to match what each person needs in the moment.
