Evidence-based therapy, tailored for online support
Dr. Kathryn Cornella draws from several structured, practical approaches that translate well to online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and building new skills for responding differently, which many people find useful when dealing with stress, anxiety, low mood, or confidence concerns.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes making room for difficult thoughts and feelings while taking meaningful action guided by personal values. This can be a helpful fit for clients who feel stuck, overwhelmed by life changes, or uncertain about direction and purpose. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, supporting people who want steadier coping strategies and healthier relationship patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dr. Cornella works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked in the past, then adjusts the plan so therapy feels relevant and workable over time.
Online therapy also makes it easier to get consistent support with flexible options, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This format can fit busy schedules, reduce travel time, and help clients stay connected to the work between sessions.
