Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and experience. The therapist listens closely and helps clients name what matters most so sessions stay relevant. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood. It offers practical exercises to reduce worry, manage panic, and change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kathy will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That process can include trying strategies from different approaches and adjusting based on what helps most.

Licensed professionals tailor sessions to your goals and daily routines, aiming to build practical skills for managing anxiety, panic attacks, and mood challenges.
