How Katie's Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy means the session starts with the person's experience. The therapist listens closely and shapes sessions around what matters most to the client, which helps with stress, anxiety, and identity concerns. Motivational Interviewing focuses on the client's goals and readiness to change; it uses focused questions and reflections to help people find their own motivation for steps like changing how they relate to food or handle conflict. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, practical steps and past successes to build momentum and solve current problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katie will discuss these methods with the client and decide together what feels useful. She aims to match techniques to a person's needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.
