How Catherine's Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and persistent avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. It often helps with anxiety, low mood, and stress by giving clear coping tools. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people develop different ways of relating and managing emotions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Catherine works together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That collaboration means techniques can shift over time depending on what helps most in day-to-day life.
