Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Katherine MacLeod draws on evidence-informed methods to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help people who struggle with intense emotions or relationship challenges. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes practical, forward-looking strategies and small, achievable steps to help clients build on their strengths and move toward clear goals.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then tailor techniques from these approaches so the work fits the individual rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions are conducted - by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access support from home or elsewhere while working with a licensed professional.
