How evidence-based techniques translate to online work
Katie notes use of evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills practice and behavioral change. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors; they are often used for anxiety and phobia work. Exposure-based strategies involve gradual, supported practice facing feared situations to reduce avoidance and build confidence.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Katie will talk with each person about goals and day-to-day challenges, then try methods that fit those goals. Together they check what helps and adjust the plan as progress is made.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking.
