Evidence-based approaches, delivered online
Katherine Potts uses several structured approaches that translate well to online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact, helping clients notice unhelpful patterns like negative self-talk and practice more workable ways of responding to stress, anxiety, or low mood.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a skills-oriented approach that emphasizes tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and navigating relationships more effectively. It can be especially helpful for mood instability and for clients who want concrete strategies they can use between sessions. Motivational Interviewing supports change by exploring ambivalence with compassion and clarity, which can be valuable when someone feels stuck or is working on substance use or other difficult habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Katherine collaborates with clients to clarify goals, identify what has or has not helped before, and choose strategies that fit their needs and preferences, adjusting as therapy progresses.
Online therapy also offers practical flexibility. Clients can meet by video calls or phone sessions, or use live chat and text-based messaging for ongoing support and reflection, making it easier to stay engaged even with busy schedules or changing circumstances.
