Remote Therapy Options and Approaches
Kathleen integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy into her online practice. Client-Centered Therapy is used to prioritize the client’s perspective and to shape sessions around what the person identifies as most important. Psychodynamic Therapy supports exploration of recurring patterns and relational history that may influence present difficulties. Solution-Focused Therapy can be applied to identify concrete goals and steps for change, including when brief or targeted work is preferred.These approaches are presented collaboratively so the client and Kathleen can decide together which methods best fit the concern at hand. For clients who need structured short-term work, solution-focused techniques can be emphasized. When deeper exploration of patterns is helpful, psychodynamic elements may be included alongside a client-centered stance. Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different communication needs.
