How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Evidence-based approaches Katie uses focus on clear skills and practical change. One approach emphasizes building communication and boundary-setting skills. It teaches short exercises to practice saying no, expressing needs, and reducing people-pleasing patterns in routine situations.Another common approach centers on understanding emotional patterns and attachment styles. This involves noticing repetitive reactions, tracing where they come from, and experimenting with different responses in relationships. It can help with codependency, jealousy, and difficulty trusting one's own needs.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katie will collaborate with each person to pick strategies that fit their goals and lifestyle. She will check in and adjust methods as progress or new issues arise so the plan stays practical and usable.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since specific formats were not listed in the biography.
