How Katlyn uses evidence-based methods online
Katlyn often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and practicing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood. CBT is practical and teaches specific exercises people can do between sessions to manage panic, worry, or depressive thinking.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and mindfulness to help with intense emotions, impulse control, and improving moment-to-moment awareness. These skills are useful for emotional regulation, reducing self-criticism, and managing relationship tension.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss client goals, symptoms, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as needs change.
