Therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Evidence-based techniques Kate uses include structured problem-solving, which breaks larger issues into clear steps and helps people regain control over daily routines and sleep patterns. This approach is useful when anxiety or disorganization make it hard to follow through on plans.She also uses skills-based coaching to build communication and coping tools. That work focuses on specific behaviors and conversations people can try between sessions to reduce panic attacks, improve social interactions, or manage anger more effectively.
Finding the right method is part of the work. Kate will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That discussion shapes the plan for early sessions and can change as progress is made.
