How Kathy Uses Practical Therapies Online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, panic attacks, depression, and stress by giving clear, testable steps to change patterns of thinking and action.

Another common focus is skills for managing trauma-related symptoms and compassion fatigue. These approaches include grounding and coping techniques that help reduce intense reactions and improve day-to-day functioning after stressful experiences.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kathy treats therapy as a collaboration and will help figure out which methods fit a person’s goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She prioritizes practical tools and builds plans together so clients can track what is helping.
