Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Kathryn (Kitty) Klee draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to support people in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening with empathy and meeting each person where they are - it helps people explore their values, build self-esteem, and gain clarity about relationships and family roles. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) uses practical tools to identify unhelpful thinking and develop new strategies for coping - it is often applied to challenges like depression, addictions, and managing life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Klee works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review what is working, adjust techniques as needed, and develop a plan that feels appropriate and achievable.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to maintain continuity of care. These options allow clients to connect from home or work, fit therapy into busy schedules, and use the communication style that feels most comfortable while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
