She aims to tailor the approach to each person’s needs and values while collaborating with clients to find what helps them feel most supported. Sessions are offered through a range of online formats to fit different schedules and preferences.

Katelyn communicates clearly about practical next steps for beginning therapy and works with clients to schedule care that aligns with their availability and goals.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Many clients benefit from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy because it focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach is practical and often includes skills and homework that can be reviewed in remote sessions. Narrative Therapy helps people examine and reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships, making it useful for addressing identity, shame, and meaning after difficult experiences. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes setting clear goals and identifying small, achievable steps, which can create momentum even within shorter or more focused online appointments.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to explore needs, goals, and personal preferences, then tailor interventions and pacing to fit what feels most helpful. Adjustments are made over time so the plan aligns with progress and changing priorities.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose formats that match their comfort and schedule. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and integrate therapeutic work into everyday life while coordinating around work, family, or other commitments.
